One of the only creators in this platform that covers some fundamental concepts from pyqt in a simple manner. Appreciate it!

[NiranjanDixit]

Thank you.

Nice. I love your PyQT tutorials, Hala. They helped me a lot.
Btw I thought the splash screen served other purpose, but it just make things start pretty lol but nice anyway

There is not Git repository in the video description as you mentioned at 2:22 :(

[codyquist]

the progress bar isnt actually doing anything though... since its just `sleeping` instead of waiting for the program to load 😕
also, super does not require QSplashScreen as a parameter, python3 has been updated to know what to override without specifying the class inheritance

🚨IMPORTANT🚨
ok so i faced the issue of
Type class error : wrong base class of top level widget

the solution is

While creating the ui in the QTdesigner you need select widget instead of Dialog

thats it.

Actually she didn't mentioned it explicitly in this video as she had in her previous video, if u are following the playlist..

p.s:- thanks Hala for making such videos..
