PyQt5 – Set background color to unchecked indicator of Radio Button

In this article we will see how we can see background color to the indicator of radio button when it is in the unchecked state. By default no color is associated with the unchecked state although we can change it with background color.

In order to add background color to the indicator for the unchecked state we have to change the style sheet of the radio button, below is the style sheet code.

QRadioButton::indicator:unchecked
{
background-color : lightgreen;
}

Below is the implementation




# importing libraries
from PyQt5.QtWidgets import * 
from PyQt5 import QtCore, QtGui
from PyQt5.QtGui import * 
from PyQt5.QtCore import * 
import sys
  
  
class Window(QMainWindow):
  
    def __init__(self):
        super().__init__()
  
        # setting title
        self.setWindowTitle("Python ")
  
        # setting geometry
        self.setGeometry(100, 100, 600, 400)
  
        # calling method
        self.UiComponents()
  
        # showing all the widgets
        self.show()
  
    # method for widgets
    def UiComponents(self):
        # creating a radio button
        self.radio_button = QRadioButton(self)
  
        # setting geometry of radio button
        self.radio_button.setGeometry(200, 150, 120, 40)
  
        # setting text to radio button
        self.radio_button.setText("Radio Button")
  
        # changing style sheet code of radio button
        # setting background color to indicator when it is in unchecked state
        self.radio_button.setStyleSheet("QRadioButton::indicator:unchecked"
                                        "{"
                                        "background-color : lightgreen;"
                                        "}")
  
  
# create pyqt5 app
App = QApplication(sys.argv)
  
# create the instance of our Window
window = Window()
  
# start the app
sys.exit(App.exec())
