CSS Related Problem

So, i have a small login form, and i want to put it lying on a image made by me.
In order to do this, i created a frame, and customized it with stylesheets so the background-image is my image and put the form inside in a layout.

the problem is when i resize the window, the image stays always the same size, which blows up my layout.

How do i make the image stretch and shrink so it always fits the form?

Thanks

I don't know if you can use CSS (presumably using setStyleSheet()) to cause a background image to resize as needed, but you can certainly do it by writing your own paintEvent() (and resizeEvent() too, for efficiency) in a subclass of QFrame:

Keep your original pixmap and your scaled_pixmap as members of your new class!

Code:

---

void resizeEvent (QResizeEvent *) {
  if (scaled_pixmap)
    delete scaled_pixmap;
  float width_f = float(width()) / float(pixmap->width());
  float height_f = float(height()) / float(pixmap->height());
  float zoom_f = (width_f < height_f ? width_f : height_f);
  scaled_pixmap = pixmap->scaled(zoom_f, zoom_f, Qt::KeepAspectRatio, Qt::SmoothTransformation);
}
 
void paintEvent (QPaintEvent *event) {
  if (!scaled_pixmap) {
    QResizeEvent event;  // ignored anyway, so just fake it
    resizeEvent(&event);
  }
  painter = QPainter(this);
  painter.save();
  painter.fillRect(event->rect(), QColor("black"));
  // the zooming in resizeEvent() ensures that only one of these is non-zero
  h_offset = (width() - scaled_pixmap->width()) / 2; // if frame is wider than image
  v_offset = (height() - scaled_pixmap->height()) / 2; // if frame is taller
  painter.drawPixmap(h_offset, v_offset, scaled_pixmap);
  painter.restore();
}

The shaped clock example is a great reference for other painter capabilities! http://doc.trolltech.com/widgets-sha...clock-cpp.html

Good luck!
