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

Syntax : self.statusBar().setStyleSheet(“border :3px black; border-style : dashed”)

Argument : It take string as argument.

Action performed : It set dashed border.

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 with dashed border")

        # setting dashed border to status bar
        self.statusBar().setStyleSheet("border :3px black;
                                        border-style : dashed")


        # 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 :
