In this article we will see how to set an background color to an indicator when it is in checked state, when it gets unchecked it colors go to default.
In order to set background color to indicator we have to edit the style sheet used with the check box object and in that we have to change the background color for the checked indicator. Below is the style sheet code.
QCheckBox::indicator:checked
{
background-color : red;
}
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 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 the check-box checkbox = QCheckBox('Geek ?', self) # setting geometry of check box checkbox.setGeometry(200, 150, 100, 30) # adding background color to the indicator # when it is in checked state checkbox.setStyleSheet("QCheckBox::indicator:checked" "{" "background-color : red;" "}") # create pyqt5 app App = QApplication(sys.argv) # create the instance of our Window window = Window() # start the app sys.exit(App.exec()) |
Output :
