PyQt5 QCalendarWidget – Setting Skin to the tool buttons

In this article we will see how we can set skin to the tool buttons of the QCalendarWidget. Tool buttons are the buttons available at the top i.e buttons to go to left and right page, setting skin to QCalendarWidget is not like setting skin to the other widgets, calendar is widget which has many child i.e component we can set skin to the independent component as well. Skin is basically background image which adjust its size according to the size of the place In order to do this we will use setStyleSheet method with the QCalendarWidget object, below is the style sheet code

QCalendarWidget QToolButton
{
border-image : url(image.png);
}

Below is the implementation

Python3 1==

# importing libraries
from PyQt5.QtWidgets import * 
from PyQt5 import QtCore, QtGui
from PyQt5.QtGui import * 
from PyQt5.QtCore import * 
import sys


# QCalendarWidget Class
class Calendar(QCalendarWidget):

    # constructor
    def __init__(self, parent = None):
        super(Calendar, self).__init__(parent)


class Window(QMainWindow):

    def __init__(self):
        super().__init__()

        # setting title
        self.setWindowTitle("Python ")

        # setting geometry
        self.setGeometry(100, 100, 500, 400)

        # calling method
        self.UiComponents()

        # showing all the widgets
        self.show()

    # method for components
    def UiComponents(self):
        # creating a QCalendarWidget object
        # as Calendar class inherits QCalendarWidget
        self.calendar = Calendar(self)

        # setting cursor
        self.calendar.setCursor(Qt.PointingHandCursor)

        # setting size of the calendar
        self.calendar.resize(350, 240)

        # move the calendar
        self.calendar.move(10, 10)

        # setting stylesheet
        # adding skin to the tool button
        self.calendar.setStyleSheet("QCalendarWidget QToolButton"
                                    "{"
                                    "background-image : url(image.png);"
                                    "}")


# create pyqt5 app
App = QApplication(sys.argv)

# create the instance of our Window
window = Window()

# start the app
sys.exit(App.exec())
