0 0 1 minute read

In this article we will see how we can set background color to the QWidget child of the QCalendarWidget. In calendar QWidget is the child which control the maximum part of the whole widget, setting background color to QCalendarWidget is not like setting background color to the other widgets, calendar is widget which has many child i.e component we can set border to independent component as well.

In order to do this we will use setStyleSheet method with the QCalendarWidget object, below is the style sheet code

QCalendarWidget QWidget
{
background-color : lightgreen;
}

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's QWidget 
        self.calendar.setStyleSheet("QCalendarWidget QWidget"
                                    "{"
                                    "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())
