While creating a PyQt5 app the window get opened and in task bar, automatically the app appears and when we close the app it get removed.
A taskbar is an element of a graphical user interface which has various purposes. It typically shows which programs are currently running. The specific design and layout of the taskbar varies between individual operating systems, but generally assumes the form of a strip located along one edge of the screen.
In this article we will see how to hide the app from the task bar, in order to do so we will use setWindowFlag() method and pass which belongs to the QWidget class.
Syntax : setWindowFlag(QtCore.Qt.Tool)
Argument : It takes Window type as argument.
Action performed : It hides the app from the task bar.
Code :
# importing the required libraries from PyQt5.QtWidgets import * from PyQt5.QtGui import * from PyQt5 import QtCore import sys class Window(QMainWindow): def __init__(self): super().__init__() # this will hide the app from task bar self.setWindowFlag(QtCore.Qt.Tool) # set the title self.setWindowTitle("NO task bar") # setting the geometry of window self.setGeometry(60, 60, 800, 500) # creating a label widget # by default label will display at top left corner self.label_1 = QLabel('no task bar', self) # moving position self.label_1.move(100, 100) # setting up border and background color self.label_1.setStyleSheet("background-color: lightgreen; border: 3px solid green") # show all the widgets self.show() # create pyqt5 app App = QApplication(sys.argv) # create the instance of our Window window = Window() # start the app sys.exit(App.exec()) |
Output :
