PyQt button which supports svg icon

Qt's setIcon of button widget doesn't help that much in terms of setting SVG image as an icon. It's just another good old fashioned pixmap icon.

So i overrided the method to set SVG icon with the power of CSS.

By the way, parent class of this is QPushButton. I will update QToolButton of this when i'm ready to do so.

(the repo/package name has changed on 2022/05/18 from pyqt-svg-icon-pushbutton)

Requirements

• PyQt5 >= 5.8

Setup

python -m pip install pyqt-svg-button

Usage

• SvgButton(base_widget: QWidget = None) - Constructor. Base widget is the widget that the button's background color based of when button get hovered/pressed by mouse cursor. If value is default(None), background color of button which is getting hovered/pressed will set to #DDDDDD, #FFFFFF.

• setIcon(icon: str) - set the icon. Icon should be a SVG file's name. This is overriding method.

• setPadding(padding: int) - set the button's padding.

• setBorderRadius(border_radius: int)

• setBackground(background=None) - you can give background argument's value either 'transparent' or 6-digits or 3-digits hex color string or color's name like 'red', 'green'. As you see, default is set to None. If you set the value as default, background will automatically be set.

• setAsCircle() - set button's shape as circle.

Included Packages

• absresgetter

Sorry for the video quality.

Image quality is not perfect, but much better than video. Image above is slightly bigger than actual size.
