how to display a background image onto the main window?

[Recency]

Hi All
how to display a background image onto the main window? The code that I have currently does not seem to be working as the following:
this->setStyleSheet("background-image: url(:/res/image1.png);");
I am trying to retrieve the image file from the resource folder that I have created. So, what is listed is resources -> resources.qrc -> /res -> image1.png.

@Recency
this is the main window?
Probably you need to set a transparent background on the main windows central widget or even set background image directly on it's central widget instead.

Hi:
I have tried this:
ui->centralWidget->setStyleSheet("background-image: url(:res/image1.png);");
this also:
ui->centralWidget->setStyleSheet("background-image: url(:/image1.png);");
this also:
ui->centralWidget->setStyleSheet("background-image: url(:/Resources//res/image1.png);");

No Go! It seem that I am not configuring path correctly?

@Recency
url(:/res/image1.png) should be ok regarding the info you provided.
But to be sure you can post the qrc.

Also you can check if QFile(":/res/image1.png")::exists() returns true.

Also its' problematic to set the stylesheet like you are doing, since it will get applied to all (child-)widgets.
You should rather limit it with a selector:

myCentralWidget->setObjectName("centralWidget");
myMainWindoer->setCentralWidget( centralWidget );
centralWidget ->setStylesheet( "#centralWidget { background-image: url(:/res/image1.png); }" );
