RE: background in QT4 Designer

I found 1 solution:

use in StyleSheets Absolute name of my picture (QT Designer show picture), but before end link project use normal names from resource (:/images/...)

it work with QFrame,

QFrame
{
/* background-image: url(:/images/Saut_1280x1024.jpg);*/ /* comment normal image name */
background-image: url(/home/bboy/Projects/C++/Progs/TrainDevices/MansSautPanel/images/Saut_1280x1024.jpg);
}

and others QFrame (in my QFrame) - i set to empty StyleSheet, becouse i want only one background

QFrame
{
background-image: url();
}

I use one Frame on VBoxLayout for Background, and other Widgets put on it.

There are other ways?

no way

probably the same issue,

I tried to set a background for any object which is supported by this attribute, but failed, it works with solid colors only.

I even explored Style Sheet example and tried to apply any part of the code taken from Style Editor window, no luck.

At first I thought that I messed up with resources and a path for the image file, but I'm sure doing right.

It looks that Qt Designer just doesn't display the style, until it would be put into an external binary application.

RE: background in QT4 Designer

Hi ,
I am trying to set background image in code.I tried the following code:
int main(int argc, char *argv[])
{
QString styleSheet = "QWidget {background-image: url(:image/image.png) }";
QApplication app(argc, argv);
app.setStyleSheet(styleSheet);
return app.exec();
}

But I get a blank background when I execute this.I have created a folder named image in my project folder and placed image.png in it.

Can you please help?
