Adding space in top and bottom of a border with stylesheet

[saber]

Hi, i want to add a border like shown in the bellow pic.

See there is spacing on the borders so they don't touch each other. here is my stylesheet

QToolButton {
border: none;
border-radius: 0px;
background-color: transparent;
border-left: 2px solid blue;
}

QToolButton:hover {
background-color: palette(Highlight);
}

QToolButton:pressed {
margin-left: 1px;
margin-top: 1px;
}

here is the result , i need the border not touching each other.

I can add spacing in the layout, but it's taking extra space that i don't want

See The Box Model and try playing with the margin properties.

If that fails you can create your on QToolButton sub-class and perform custom painting of the "border"

Try with padding or set a larger spacing for the toolbar.
