PyQt5 – Setting skin to unchecked RadioButton

In this article we will see how we can set skin to the unchecked check box. By default there is no image/skin associated with the radio button, this skin will appear when radio button will be in checked state. In order to add skin to the radio button for checked state, we have to change the style sheet of the radio button. Below is the style sheet code.

QRadioButton::unchecked
{
background-image : url(image.png);
}

Below is the implementation. 

Python3




# 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 a radio button
        self.radio_button = QRadioButton(self)
 
        # setting geometry of radio button
        self.radio_button.setGeometry(200, 150, 120, 40)
 
        # setting text to radio button
        self.radio_button.setText("Radio Button")
 
        # changing style sheet code of radio button
        # setting skin for unchecked radio button
        self.radio_button.setStyleSheet("QRadioButton::unchecked"
                                        "{"
                                        "border-image: url(image.png);"
                                        "}")
 
 
# create pyqt5 app
App = QApplication(sys.argv)
 
# create the instance of our Window
window = Window()
 
# start the app
sys.exit(App.exec())
