    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.

    Kind Regards,
    Sy

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

      Kind Regards,
      Sy

        @SPlatten said in Creating splash form:

        background-image: SPLASH_IMG

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

        It is an old maxim of mine that when you have excluded the impossible, whatever remains, however improbable, must be the truth. (Sherlock Holmes)

          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.

            Kind Regards,
