PyQt5 – Add border to status bar

In this article, we will see how to add border to status bar. By default, there is no border to status bar. Below is the image of status bar without border and with border.

In order to do this we will use setStyleSheet() method.

Syntax : self.statusBar().setStyleSheet(“border :3px solid orange”)

Argument : It takes string as argument.

Action performed : It sets the border to the status bar.

Code :

from PyQt5.QtCore import *
from PyQt5.QtGui import *
from PyQt5.QtWidgets import *
import sys


class Window(QMainWindow):
    def __init__(self):
        super().__init__()

        # set the title
        self.setWindowTitle("Python")

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

        # setting status bar message
        self.statusBar().showMessage("This is status bar")

        # setting border to status bar
        self.statusBar().setStyleSheet("border :3px solid orange")

        # creating a label widget
        self.label_1 = QLabel("Status bar", self)

        # moving position
        self.label_1.move(100, 100)

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

        # resizing label
        self.label_1.adjustSize()

        # show all the widgets
        self.show()


# create pyqt5 app
App = QApplication(sys.argv)

# create the instance of our Window
window = Window()

# start the app
sys.exit(App.exec())

Output :
