    Default Resize Image Background in QMainWindow / Best way to make a Checkers Game

    Hi, I have an image background and a palette, I set the image to the palette and then, I set a this palette to the QMainWindow.
    1st Question ----------------------------------------------------------------------
    The thing here is even when I use this:
    background = new QPixmap(":Local/WoodenBack.png");
    background->scaled(this->size(),Qt::IgnoreAspectRatio);
    Rhe size of the Image remains the default size and the window shows just a half of it.
    Example: Image size 600X600 / Window size 300X300

    2nd Question -----------------------------------------------------------------------

    Im going to make a Checker Game, its not the big deal, should I use QLabels using QMainWindow? I worked with QGraphicsScene and QGraphicsView before, and now I want to try something different. This its just an easy project (The checkers Game).

    What do you do with the result of the scaling operation? I.e. the pixmap returned by scaled()?

    For this kind of interface the choice of QGraphicsView is a good one.
    If you want to try something different I'd rather go for QtQuick instead of widgets.

    Thanks for reply, yeah, this does nothing.

    But there is no problem going for QWidgets? I mean could be difficult while moving pieces or any other thing?
    I can try QtQuick in other time, the reason is that I have only 15 days to do this game, not enought time to learn anything else.
    Thanks for the reply again.

    Should be doable with widgets.
    Not as nicely as with graphics view but possible.
