In this article we will see how to add padding to status bar. Unlike main window which don’t have padding, status bar allows us to set padding to it. Padding is basically the space between border and content of status bar, we can set this size by using setStyleSheet method with status bar object.
Note : In status bar, padding is available for top and bottom only, it is not available for left or right edge.
Syntax : self.statusBar().setStyleSheet(“padding : 15px;”)
Argument : It takes string as argument.
Action performed : It set padding 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 and padding self.statusBar().setStyleSheet("border :3px solid black; padding: 15px;") # 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 :
