Hi
What have you tried so far?
How did you set the background image on mainwindow in the first place?
There is an event for when resize happen which you can use.
http://doc.qt.io/qt-5/qwidget.html#resizeEvent

[ManiRon]

QPixmap bkgnd("" + QDir::currentPath() + "./InputFiles/Images/Logo.png");
bkgnd = bkgnd.scaled(this->window()->size(), Qt::IgnoreAspectRatio);
QPalette palette;
palette.setBrush(QPalette::Background, bkgnd);
this->setPalette(palette);

My Current Code

Hi,

What type of widget is your MainWindow ?

[ManiRon]

@SGaist said in how to scale the background image for the Mainwindow:

MainWindow

I used QT WIdget application type

In other words, the question was: what is the base class of MainWindow ?

[ManiRon]

@SGaist
class MainWindow : public QMainWindow is this the one. Or if i am saying it wrong kindly mention how to see it.
