In this article, we will see how we can set the foreground role to the QCalendarWidget. There are basically two types of roles in calendar one is foreground and the other one is background. The foreground role defines the color from the calendar’s palette that is used to draw the foreground. If no explicit foreground role is set, the foreground returns a role that contrasts with the background role.
In order to do this we will use setForegroundRole method with the QCalendarWidget object.
Syntax : calendar.setForegroundRole(color_object)
Argument : It takes QPalette.ColorRole object argument
Return : It return None
Below is the implementation
Python3
# importing librariesfrom PyQt5.QtWidgets import *from PyQt5 import QtCore, QtGuifrom PyQt5.QtGui import *from PyQt5.QtCore import *import sysclass Window(QMainWindow): def __init__(self): super().__init__() # setting title self.setWindowTitle("Python ") # setting geometry self.setGeometry(100, 100, 650, 400) # calling method self.UiComponents() # showing all the widgets self.show() # method for components def UiComponents(self): # creating a QCalendarWidget object self.calendar = QCalendarWidget(self) # setting geometry to the calendar self.calendar.setGeometry(50, 10, 400, 250) # setting cursor self.calendar.setCursor(Qt.PointingHandCursor) # setting foreground role self.calendar.setForegroundRole(QPalette.Base) # getting palette and setting color to the background to it p = self.calendar.palette() p.setColor(self.calendar.foregroundRole(), Qt.darkGray) self.calendar.setPalette(p)# create pyqt5 appApp = QApplication(sys.argv)# create the instance of our Windowwindow = Window()# start the appsys.exit(App.exec()) |
