PyQt5 – How to create Label with multicolor border ?

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())


Output :
pyqt-label-multicolor
