PyQt5 Label – Setting opacity level to the Opacity effect

In this article we will see how we can set opacity level to the opacity effect of the label, the more the value of opacity the label will be clearly the visible and if opacity value is lesser more transparent it will become.

In order to do this we use setOpacity method.

Syntax : opacity_effect.setOpacity(n)

Argument : It takes float value as argument

Return : None

Note : Opacity level value ranges from 0 to 1

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 label
        label = QLabel("Label", self)
  
        # setting geometry to the label
        label.setGeometry(200, 100, 150, 60)
  
        # setting alignment to the label
        label.setAlignment(Qt.AlignCenter)
  
        # setting font
        label.setFont(QFont('Arial', 15))
  
        # setting style sheet of the label
        label.setStyleSheet("QLabel"
                            "{"
                            "border : 2px solid green;"
                            "background : lightgreen;"
                            "}")
  
        # creating a opacity effect
        self.opacity_effect = QGraphicsOpacityEffect()
  
        # setting opacity level
        self.opacity_effect.setOpacity(0.3)
  
        # adding opacity effect to the label
        label.setGraphicsEffect(self.opacity_effect)
  
  
# create pyqt5 app
App = QApplication(sys.argv)
  
# create the instance of our Window
window = Window()
  
# start the app
sys.exit(App.exec())
