Unsolved How to use url in QT style sheets
-
Hi, I don't understand how to use url in QT style sheets.
This is the style sheet for a Radio Button.QRadioButton::indicator { width: 18px; height: 18px; } QRadioButton::indicator::unchecked { image: url(':/../images/radio_button_off.png'); }
And this is the directory where my project is. The dialog with the radio buttons is
visualizza_bene_2.ui
and I'm using QT designer to modify style sheet. The icons are inimages
The problem is that the icon doesn't appear. How to solve it?
Thank you all -

I don't use Qt Designer and/or these "embedded" resources syntax. But why the/..
at the start? Plus, I don't think you can..
out from/
, that's not allowed.While you wait for a better answer, what about
url(':/images/radio_button_off.png');
or evenurl('images/radio_button_off.png');
? Have a play! -
The second one works! Thank you very much

I must warn you, and I would be most grateful if a Qt expert commented here.When you use
url('images...')
you are accessing the file in theimages
folder. When you (try to) useurl(':/images...')
, or something like that:
syntax, I think you are accessing a resource embedded in your app. (For example, we use something likeQtGui.QPixmap(":/icons/icons/...")
.) This distinction could be very significant for deployment. You should seek clarification of which one you should be using, it's not my area. -
@JonB said in How to use url in QT style sheets:
Thanks again, unfortunatelyimage:url('images/radio_button_off.png');
works when I see the preview, but doesn't work when I lunch the project (it's a QGIS Plugin). I definitely need clarification. -

Hi
Your syntax indicates you are using an resource file
( the ":/" )
However, the project seems not to contain one.please see here
https://doc.qt.io/qtforpython/overviews/resources.htmlI normally recommend using a resource file for icons. But since its python im not sure it has the same benefits :)
