Getting started with fullscreen Python desktop GUIs


There seems to be multiple GUI libraries for Python. I wish to develop a desktop application (e.g. for Windows), with a completely custom design - basically, using sprites or mathematical objects. In the case of effects, one requirement is a neon glow for buttons.

Which library/libraries are suitable for this task?


Solution

  • For full screen use showFullScreen() on your widget.

    You can use PyQT with QSS for GUI.

    QSS : Its a variant of CSS with most of the properties intersecting with CSS styles and specially designed to work and design the Qt guis and widgets. But instead of HTML tags we use the Widgets class name for styling them, like :- QWidget, QLineEdit, QLabel, QPushButton etc. etc.

    e.g.:

    QWidget {
       background-color: #222222;
    }
    
    QLineEdit {
       background-color: aliceblue;
       color: #618b38;
       font-style: italic;
       font-weight: bold;
    }
    
    QLabel {
       background-color: #222222;
       color: #618b38;
    }
    
    QPushButton {
       background-color: #8b0000;
       color: #ffffff;
       border-radius: 5px;
       border-style: none;
       height: 25px;
    }
