PyQt custom titlebar setter (movable/resizable, etc.)

Project description

pyqt-custom-titlebar-setter

PyQt custom titlebar setter.

This is movable/resizable.

When resizing, cursor shape will be automatically changed depends on the direction of edge where the cursor is hovering over.

For example, you want to resize the window horizontally, cursor shape will be changed like "⇿".

You can set the title, and icon which should be SVG type.

You can set the min/max/close buttons separately.

This package supports full-screen. If your app has full screen, this custom titlebar can perfectly deal with it. So there's no need to do another chore for full-screen.

Requirements

Setup

python -m pip install pyqt-custom-titlebar-setter

Included Packages

Usage

  • `CustomTitlebarSetter.getCustomTitleBarWindow(main_window: QWidget, title: str = '', icon_filename: str = '',

                              font: QFont = QFont('Arial', 14), hint: list = ['min', 'max', 'close'],
    
                              align=Qt.AlignCenter, bottom_separator: bool = False) -> CustomTitlebarWindow`
    
    • main_window is your widget.

    • title is windows title. If you set this by default (empty string), title is based of the title you set with setWindowTitle.

    • icon_filename is title bar's icon. Icon file should be svg file. If it is not set, then there is no icon.

    • font is font of the title.

    • hint is hint of the button on the title bar. For example, if you give the value such as ['min', 'close'], the title bar buttons will contain minimize and close buttons only.

    • align is alignment of the title. You can give Qt.AlignLeft, Qt.AlignCenter, Qt.AlignRight. Some of these are not recommended depending on the title bar button's position.

    • bottom_separator decides whether you want to put the separator(horizontal line) at the bottom of the title bar. If it is set to True, line will be shown between title bar and main widget.

Example

1. Very basic text editor

Code Sample

from PyQt5.QtWidgets import QApplication, QWidget, QGridLayout, QTextEdit

from pyqt_custom_titlebar_setter import CustomTitlebarSetter





class TextEditor(QWidget):

    def __init__(self):

        super().__init__()

        self.__initUi()



    def __initUi(self):

        self.setWindowTitle('Text Editor')

        lay = QGridLayout()

        lay.addWidget(QTextEdit())

        self.setLayout(lay)





if __name__ == "__main__":

    import sys



    app = QApplication(sys.argv)

    widget = TextEditor()

    window = CustomTitlebarSetter.getCustomTitleBarWindow(main_window=widget, icon_filename='dark-notepad.svg')

    window.show()

    sys.exit(app.exec_())

How about dark theme?

image

If you want to set dark theme, install the pyqt-style-setter, then write code like this.

...

widget = TextEditor()

StyleSetter.setWindowStyle(widget, theme='dark') # write it at this spot, BEFORE calling getCustomTitleBarWindow.

window = CustomTitlebarSetter.getCustomTitleBarWindow(main_window=widget, icon_filename='dark-notepad.svg')

...

By the way, you can clearly see the title label and min/max/close button color changed based on background's color automatically.

Now let's apply this to some of the applications.

※ From now on, examples below are using dark theme. Of course, you don't have to use this.

2. pyqt-dark-notepad - DarkNotepadApp class

Code Sample

from PyQt5.QtWidgets import QApplication

from pyqt_dark_gray_theme.darkGrayTheme import *

from pyqt_dark_notepad import DarkNotepad



from pyqt_style_setter import StyleSetter

from pyqt_custom_titlebar_setter import CustomTitlebarSetter





class DarkNotepadApp(QApplication):

    def __init__(self, *args, **kwargs):

        super().__init__(*args, **kwargs)

        mainWindow = DarkNotepad()

        StyleSetter.setWindowStyle(mainWindow, theme='dark')  # you don't need this. this is just for adding style.

        self.__titleBarWindow = CustomTitlebarSetter.getCustomTitleBarWindow(mainWindow,

                                                                             icon_filename='ico/dark-notepad.svg')

        self.__titleBarWindow.show()

from pyqt_style_setter import StyleSetter

from pyqt_custom_titlebar_setter import CustomTitlebarSetter





class CalculatorApp(QApplication):

        super().__init__(*args, **kwargs)

        mainWindow = Calculator()

        StyleSetter.setWindowStyle(mainWindow, theme='dark', exclude_type_lst=[QAbstractButton])

        self.__titleBarWindow = CustomTitlebarSetter.getCustomTitleBarWindow(mainWindow,

                                                                             icon_filename='ico/calculator.svg')
