In this article we will see how we can set skin to the months menu of the QCalendarWidget. Month menu is the QMenu object child of calendar, it appear when user press on the month name so that user can select the month, setting skin to QCalendarWidget is not like setting skin to the other widgets, calendar is widget which has many child i.e component we can set skin to independent component as well. Skin is basically background image which adjust its size according to the size of the place
In order to do this we will use setStyleSheet method with the QCalendarWidget object, below is the style sheet code
QCalendarWidget QMenu
{
border-image : url(image.png);
}
Below is the implementation
# importing libraries from PyQt5.QtWidgets import * from PyQt5 import QtCore, QtGui from PyQt5.QtGui import * from PyQt5.QtCore import *import sys # QCalendarWidget Class class Calendar(QCalendarWidget): # constructor def __init__(self, parent = None): super(Calendar, self).__init__(parent) class Window(QMainWindow): def __init__(self): super().__init__() # setting title self.setWindowTitle("Python ") # setting geometry self.setGeometry(100, 100, 500, 400) # calling method self.UiComponents() # showing all the widgets self.show() # method for components def UiComponents(self): # creating a QCalendarWidget object # as Calendar class inherits QCalendarWidget self.calendar = Calendar(self) # setting cursor self.calendar.setCursor(Qt.PointingHandCursor) # setting size of the calendar self.calendar.resize(350, 240) # move the calendar self.calendar.move(10, 10) # setting stylesheet # adding skin to the months menu self.calendar.setStyleSheet("QCalendarWidget QMenu" "{" "background-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 :
