        super().__init__()

        self.setWindowTitle("Python")
  
        # setting  the geometry of window
        self.setGeometry(60, 60, 600, 400)

        # setting background image to status bar
        self.statusBar().setStyleSheet("background-image : url(image.png);")
  
  
        # creating a label widget
        self.label_1 = QLabel("Status bar", self)
  
        # moving position

        # setting up the border
        self.label_1.setStyleSheet("border :1px solid blue;")
  
        # resizing label
