Unsolved How to stop an icon from getting stretched?
-
I'd like my icon (borrowed from Qt Creator) to be thin, not the standard 16x16 size. Is there any way to stop it from getting stretched?

@Vadi2 Call
setIconSize()
on your QComboBox should constrain it to the size you set as the maximum. -

setIconSize
That's weird... says right there that smaller icons are not to be scaled up:
This size is the maximum size that icons can have; icons of smaller size are not scaled up.
Yet mine is!

I'm adding the icon to a QLineEdit by the way, not to the QComboBox.
The idea didn't work unfortunately:
auto icon = QIcon(QStringLiteral(":/icons/casesensitively-insensitive.png")); qDebug() << "first size:" << icon.availableSizes().first(); comboBox_searchTerms->setIconSize(icon.availableSizes().first()); auto action = new QAction(icon, tr("Whole Words Only"), this); action->setCheckable(true); action->setChecked(false); lineEdit->addAction(action, QLineEdit::LeadingPosition); // first size: QSize(8, 16)

@Vadi2 I don't have the time right now to mess with it and see why so I'll just offer you a hacky solution. Create the icon as a 16x16 but only use 8x16 of it. Then it won't scale since it will be the expected size.
I'm sure there's a Qt way to control things better but I don't know it off the top of my head and I don't have time to experiment.

That's what I've done, but it is huge and takes up way too much space. I'm unsatisfied with this.

Hi Vadi2,
As I remember there is a Type (Enum) that defines the fit of Qt Resources in QWidgets. Had you see the documentation completely?
