0 0 1 minute read

When we create border of a label, it is of same color i.e all the edges are of same color. In this article, we will see how to create multi-colored borders i.e all the edges are of different color.

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

Syntax :

label.setStyleSheet("border :5px solid ;"
                    "border-top-color : red; "
                    "border-left-color :pink;"
                    "border-right-color :yellow;"
                    "border-bottom-color : green")

Argument : It takes string as argument.

Action performed : It changes the color of each edge.

Code :

# importing the required libraries 
  
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) 
  
  
        # creating a label widget 
        self.label_1 = QLabel(self) 
  
        # moving position 
        self.label_1.move(100, 100) 
  
        # setting up the border 
        self.label_1.setStyleSheet("border :5px solid blue;") 
  
        # setting label text 
        self.label_1.setText("Single colored") 
  
        # resizing label 
        self.label_1.resize(100, 50) 
        # creating a label widget 
        self.label_2 = QLabel(self) 
  
        # moving position 
        self.label_2.move(160, 170) 
  
        # setting up the border and changing color of each edge 
        self.label_2.setStyleSheet("border :5px solid ;"
                                   "border-top-color : red; "
                                   "border-left-color :pink;"
                                   "border-right-color :yellow;"
                                   "border-bottom-color : green") 
  
  
        # setting label text 
        self.label_2.setText("Multi colored") 
        self.label_2.resize(100, 50) 
  
  
  
        # 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())
