Why can't you do that with two labels like in my screenshot??? Or do you mean 
because there's a border around the line edits and not around the label? That 
is actually what I _don't_ like, because it's not a selectable widget anyway.

But it's mostly a matter of taste I guess, no idea if any studies were done 
and if so what the results were.
