PyQt Scaling background image using styleSheet ? or any other way? - background

I'm trying to resize a background image on a button
btn.setStyleSheet("background-image: url(:/AddButton.png);"
"background-repeat: no-repeat;");
tried it with
background-size: 10px auto;
but pyqt seems to be missing this CSS attribute
Is there any other way of scaling the background image on the button?
I need the background image as the icon on the button will be used on top.
any suggestions?

I believe you need to use border-image. Since the border-image property provides an alternate background, it is not required to specify a background-image when border-image is specified. In the case when both of them are specified, the border-image draws over the background-image.

Sapui5 horizontal line

is there any alternative to the depricated"HorizontalDivider" in SAPUI5? Since Sap doesn´t mention any alternative, I ran over something like "" Element that draws a Horizontal line?
It is better that you use a toolbar element as it has the bottom border. When you use the html hr tag, it does not respect the theme color while the toolbar use the theme color and also its spacing policy.
<sap.m.Toolbar width="100%" height="1px"/>
It the following picture you can see what is the result of using a toolbar with 1px height.
And in the following picture the result of using html hr tag.
Or you can use any boxing elements of the UI5 and just play with its class. For example you can assign the class sapMTBStandard to your element to make a bottom border with suitable color in your theme.
<html:hr></html:hr>
Make sure you add xmlns:html="http://www.w3.org/1999/xhtml" library

bootstrap - how to add background color for all the screen width when using containter

I need to use container (and not container-fluid) , but I still need to add background to all the remaining background( the background color differ from container to container). any idea how to do it?
thanks!
Your question is not pretty clear.
I will answer according to my understanding.
There should be only one container in the web application. Because it comes with fix width(not in %) i.e. 1170px/970px/750px.
So there should be only one to contain the website.
Now the only background out of container can be styled with the body tag.
body{
background-color: #ddd;
}

NextGen Nivoslider (Wordpress): Image Resize

I have the plugin working on a slideshow of images here:
http://samsweet.info/
I've uploaded all the images at the desired full size; all fall within 600 X 500 px. If I don't specify the height/width in the shortcode, the images are stretched and blown out to fill the entire content area. But when I specify the height and width in the shortcode, the images are not responsive and do not "shrink down" when the window is resized. Can someone guide me on how to get these images to (a) show up as they are at full size, centered and (b) resize properly in a smaller window/mobile device?
Any help appreciated!
If your slider is wrapped in a div, try just resizing the div with css. That way your images will keep their aspect ratio, but you can still use percentages (and max-width).
.slider-div{
width: 80%;
max-width: 600px;
}
This boggled my mind for a year and today I finally figured it out. It is the transition that is stretched. When I changed it to effect="none" it still worked and no more stretching. But the quick click buttons below the images no longer work. Ahhh...always something. But there's a clue at least.

Placing an image from the sprite in the specific position

Let's say i have a sprite with lots of icons. I want to place one of the icons in the specific position over the div, e.g. 15px from the right side and 20px from the top.
Previously, when i had single image file i used the following code:
background: white url(./imgs/some/icon.png) no-repeat 91% 47%;
Now then the image is in the sprite i can access it using
background-position: 0 -471px;
But as i see it there is no place to add my current 91% 47%. Is there some kind of workaround?
It's possible to use CSS3 in the project if it helps.
Thanks!
Would you be able to add another <div>, give it the correct background, and absolute position it where it needs to be? I'm thinking that your background-position percentages are probably out when you use a sprite sheet.
If I understand your set of constraints correctly, you might be able to pull it off with a single div, but only if your png has a transparent background and the icon has enough "transparent space" as to not reveal any other icons.
Try:
background: white url(./imgs/some/icon.png) 91% 47% no-repeat, transparent url(./imgs/some/icon.png) 0 -471px no-repeat;

In Xul, how to get rid of the popup's background color and make it transparent?

To make a window transparent, I just don't use the "window" tag. I use a "myWindow" tag, so it don't show the default window background.
But how do I do with a popup dialog?
To make an element transparent, setting background-color: transparent; and/or -moz-appearance: none; normally suffices, it's not necessary to fiddle around with non-standard tag names.
