Transparent Image not displaying correctly in QLabel
-
I placed a transparent image inside a QLabel:
And when I run my app, I get this:
Do transparent images not work in QLabels? If not, is there another mechanism/object that facilitates this?
@Driftwood
are you sure your image is transparent?
to me your example rather looks like the image contains the checker pattern and no transparency
(Qt doesnt draw a checker pattern) -
Setting that to True or False bears the same result. I've done all I know, including using other transparent images, and I can't get...wait! I just got one to work. Now if I can only remember what I did to make that happen :D
Just kidding. I got an image that loses the transparent background, the checkered area.
Thanks again for your help, JoeCFD.

(Qt doesnt draw a checker pattern)The checkered background, aside from other things, signifies image area that's transparent. By all rights, it shld vanish completely and allow the app bg color to fill in. I can only guess that some of the stock images were incorrectly created as being why I had trouble. But the last one, shown above, worked as expected. Thanks for your input. That's what got me thinking abt the legitimacy of the image's transparency.
