0 0 1 minute read

In this article we will see how to set a background image to progress bar. By default there is no background image set to the progress bar, below is how normal progress bar vs progress bar with background image looks like.

In order to do so we have to use The CSS style sheet, below is the code for style sheet.

QProgressBar
{
 background-image : url(image.png);
 border : 1px solid white;
}

This style sheet is used with setStyleSheet method, below is the implementation of the code.

# importing libraries

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 progress bar 
        bar = QProgressBar(self) 
  
        # setting geometry to progress bar 
        bar.setGeometry(200, 100, 200, 30) 
  
        # setting the value 
        bar.setValue(30) 
  
        # setting alignment to center 
        bar.setAlignment(Qt.AlignCenter) 
  
        # setting background 
        bar.setStyleSheet( 
                          "QProgressBar"
                          "{"
                          "background-image: url(image.png);"
                          " border: 1px solid white;"
                          "} "
                          ) 
  
App = QApplication(sys.argv) 
  
# create the instance of our Window 
window = Window() 
  
# start the app 
sys.exit(App.exec())
