In this article we will see how we can set background color to the QCalendarWidget, setting background color to QCalendarWidget is not like setting border to the other widgets, calendar is widget which has many child i.e component we can set background color to independent component as well. Below is how the calendar with background color will look like
In order to do this we will use setStyleSheet method with the QCalendarWidget object, below is the style sheet code
background-color : lightgreen;
Note : This will remove all the previous style sheet of the calendar
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 # QCalendarWidget Class class Calendar(QCalendarWidget): # constructor def __init__(self, parent = None): super(Calendar, self).__init__(parent) class Window(QMainWindow): def __init__(self): super().__init__() # setting title self.setWindowTitle("Python ") # setting geometry self.setGeometry(100, 100, 500, 400) # calling method self.UiComponents() # showing all the widgets self.show() # method for components def UiComponents(self): # creating a QCalendarWidget object # as Calendar class inherits QCalendarWidget self.calendar = Calendar(self) # setting cursor self.calendar.setCursor(Qt.PointingHandCursor) # setting size of the calendar self.calendar.resize(350, 240) # move the calendar self.calendar.move(10, 10) # setting stylesheet # adding background color to the calendar self.calendar.setStyleSheet("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 :
