PyQt5 – Set color to a status bar

In this article, we will see how to set a color to a status bar. By default, there is no color to a status bar but PyQt5 provides us a feature to edit the color of status bar. We can do this by using setStyleSheet() method.

self.statusBar().setStyleSheet(“background-color : yellow”)

Argument : It takes string as argument.

Action performed : It sets color to 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 color to status bar
        self.statusBar().setStyleSheet("background-color : pink")

        # 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 :
