Unlike setting background images, skins adjust themselves according to the size of status bar. In background image if the image size is large and status bar size is small only that part of image is displayable that comprises the size of status bar. The main reason of setting skin to status bar is that, status bar height is comparatively smaller than the normal images that’s why instead of using background images skin is preferable.
Background and skin will look like this:
Syntax : self.statusBar().setStyleSheet(“border-image : url(skin.png);”)
Argument : It takes string as argument.
Action performed : It sets skin to status bar.
Code :
from PyQt5.QtCore import * from PyQt5.QtGui import * from PyQt5.QtWidgets import * import sys class Window(QMainWindow): def __init__(self): super().__init__() # set the title self.setWindowTitle("Python") # setting the geometry of window self.setGeometry(60, 60, 600, 400) # setting status bar message self.statusBar().showMessage("This is status bar") # setting skin to status bar self.statusBar().setStyleSheet("border-image : url(skin.png);") # creating a label widget self.label_1 = QLabel("status bar", self) # moving position self.label_1.move(100, 100) # setting up the border self.label_1.setStyleSheet("border :1px solid blue;") # resizing label self.label_1.adjustSize() # show all the widgets self.show() # create pyqt5 app App = QApplication(sys.argv) # create the instance of our Window window = Window() # start the app sys.exit(App.exec()) |
