While creating a Label in PyQt5, we can see that there is no background color. In this article we will see how to add background color to the Label.
In order to add border to the Label we will use label.setStyleSheet() method, this will add the background color to the label, it is same like designing the CSS style sheet.
Syntax : label.setStyleSheet(“background-color: cyan”)
Argument : It takes string as argument.
Action performed: It changes the background color of the label.
Code :
# importing the required libraries from PyQt5.QtWidgets import * from PyQt5.QtGui import * import sys class Window(QMainWindow): def __init__(self): super().__init__() # set the title self.setWindowTitle("Label") # setting the geometry of window self.setGeometry(0, 0, 400, 300) # creating a label widget # by default label will display at top left corner self.label_1 = QLabel('Light green', self) # moving position self.label_1.move(100, 100) # setting up background color self.label_1.setStyleSheet("background-color: lightgreen") # creating a label widget # by default label will display at top left corner self.label_2 = QLabel('Yellow', self) # moving position self.label_2.move(100, 150) # setting up background color and border self.label_2.setStyleSheet("background-color: yellow; border: 1px solid black;") # show all the widgets self.show() # create pyqt5 appApp = QApplication(sys.argv) # create the instance of our Windowwindow = Window()# start the appsys.exit(App.exec()) |
