Adding Borders to QR Codes

You can add borders around a QR code, specifying the border size, color, and type.

How to Add a Border to QR Codes

1. Open the stylesheet you want to modify or create a new one.
2. In the local toolbar, make sure the first button displays . If the button displays instead, then click it.
3. In the upper-left corner of the editor, click in the drop-down field and select .
4. Select the MadCap|qrCode style.
5. From the Show drop-down list on the upper-right side of the editor, select .
6. (Optional) You can use the toggle button in the local toolbar to show properties below in a group view or an alphabetical view .
7. If you are using the grouped view, expand the Border group.

8. Locate and select the border property you want to change. Each side (bottom, left, right, top) has separate properties that you can set for the color, style, and width (e.g., border-bottom-style). You can set these properties individually, or you can set the primary property for each side (e.g., border-bottom), which lets you specify the color, style, and width in one place. If you plan to have the same settings for all sides, you can use the main border property to set the color, style, and width the same. The border-radius properties let you create curved edges on the border by providing horizontal and vertical values.

   When you click next to a border property, a popup appears. Use the fields in the popup to define additional properties such as color, width, style, and thickness, then click OK.

9. Click to save your work.
