In this article we will see how to add color to the check box. When we create a check box it has no color although we can change the color of it. Below is the representation of normal check box and the colored check box.
In order to do this we have to change the background color of the check box which can be done using the below style sheet code.
QCheckBox
{
background-color : lightgreen;
}
This style sheet is used with the setStyleSheet method, 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 checkbox.setStyleSheet("QCheckBox" "{" "background-color : lightgreen;" "}") # create pyqt5 app App = QApplication(sys.argv) # create the instance of our Window window = Window() # start the app sys.exit(App.exec()) |
Output :
