I want to add a border to a custom widget with style sheet, but the style sheet does not seem to work, anything wrong?
Firstly: add an actual widget to your example:
self.widget = QWidget(self)
layout = QVBoxLayout(self)
layout.addWidget(self.widget)
Secondly: do yourself a favour, and use triple-quotes:
self.widget.setStyleSheet("""
.QWidget {
border: 20px solid black;
border-radius: 10px;
background-color: rgb(255, 255, 255);
}
""")
NB: the dot-selector in your example is redundant. What it does, is specify that only instances of QWidget
itself will be selected, as opposed to sub-classes of QWidget
. See the StyleSheet Syntax guide in the Qt docs.
In your project folder add a basic css file mystylesheet.css. Mutli-language editors like atom are best for these type of things. The syntax highlighting works properly if you keep it named a css file.
Then drop the dot, qt knows that you mean.
CSS:
QWidget {
border: 20px solid black;
border-radius: 10px;
background-color: rgb(255, 255, 255);
}
Python:
anyQelement.setStyleSheet(open('mystylesheet.css').read())
