The key thing is to set up a stripe in the first place. The stripe shape for the background can be long or thin or wide.

 

The line can have any color fill such as gradients or a solid color. It can have effects added to the stripe line shape by using layer style. Make certain that you choose the 'shape layer' option or if you are using the pixel option, use that on a new layer so you can delete the background.

Delete the background layer via the layers panel. The Photoshop rectangle line is selected by using the rectangular marquee tool. The line design / rectangle design can be as simple as that but you can create far more complex rectangle designs such as parallel lines, lines with different fills, pattern fill lines, dashed lines and many more.
