QLabel with <img>

[Perdrix]

I have a png file with a transparent background.

which I used with a QLabel like this:

QString text{ "<img border=\"0\" src=\":/Heart.png\" width=\"20\" height=\"20\">&nbsp;" };
:
label.setText(text);

I expected the background of the label to show through, but this is what I actually saw:

IOW the png wasn't displayed with transparent background?

What's wrong?

Thanks, David

@Pl45m4 It appeared to have a transparent background but actually had a checker-board background, so it looked right, but wasn't.

Editing file and making the background truly transparent solved the problem.

@Perdrix said in QLabel with <img>:

You could try

label.setAttribute(Qt::WA_TranslucentBackground);

Otherwise I would say QLabel::setText combined with HTML code for images doesn't support transparency, but maybe somebody knows better :)

Never done this way before (with transparency).
