PyQt5 – Setting skin to indicator of radio button

In this article we will see how we can set skin to the indicator of radio button., indicator is the part of the radio button which tells radio button is checked or not. Unlike background image skin adjust itself according to the size of indicator. Below is the representation of background image indicator vs the indicator with skin.

Note : When we alter style sheet of indicator shape changes to square.
In order to do this we have to change the style sheet code of the indicator associated with the radio button object, below is the style sheet code. 

QRadioButton::indicator
{
border-image : url(image.png);
}

Below is the implementation – 

Python3

# importing libraries
from PyQt5.QtWidgets import *
from PyQt5 import QtCore, QtGui
from PyQt5.QtGui import *
from PyQt5.QtCore import *
import sys


class Window(QMainWindow):

    def __init__(self):
        super().__init__()

        # setting title
        self.setWindowTitle("Python ")

        # setting geometry
        self.setGeometry(100, 100, 600, 400)

        # calling method
        self.UiComponents()

        # showing all the widgets
        self.show()

    # method for widgets
    def UiComponents(self):

        # creating a radio button
        self.radio_button = QRadioButton(self)

        # setting geometry of radio button
        self.radio_button.setGeometry(200, 150, 120, 40)

        # setting text to radio button
        self.radio_button.setText("Radio Button")

        # changing style sheet code of radio button
        # adding border image to the indicator
        self.radio_button.setStyleSheet("QRadioButton::indicator"
                                        "{"
                                        "border-image : url(image.png)"
                                        "}")


# create pyqt5 app
App = QApplication(sys.argv)

# create the instance of our Window
window = Window()

# start the app
sys.exit(App.exec())

Output :
