Creating splash form

[SPlatten]

I have an image which I have added to the resource file with an alias. I am trying to create a splash form for the application and reference the resource file, how do I do this?

My splash form contains a QWidget that I have set to the same size as the image, I know I can use CSS in the widget style property, is there a way to reference the resource using its alias in the CSS?

Resource alias is SPLASH_IMG, I've tried setting the styleSheet for the widget to:

background-image: SPLASH_IMG

It didn't work.

@SPlatten , Done, changed the control from QWidget to QLabel, removed text and selected resource using pixmap option.

@SPlatten said in Creating splash form:

background-image: SPLASH_IMG

I think this should be: background-image: url(:/SPLASH_IMG);

If you want to create a splash screen wouldn‘t it be better to use QSplashScreen?

@DerReisende , I started down that road, then found another reason I took an about turn and am doing it this way, sorry I just cannot remember the reason why.
