Create stacked icon using font awesome in Qt

[ScleaverZer0ne]

Does anyone have experience with QtAwesome? I'm trying to figure out how to make stacked icons, but I'm having trouble. Any reference to documentation or a guide will also be beneficial.

@ScleaverZer0ne What is a "stacked icon"? What have you attempted? How has it failed? C++ or Python, platform, Qt version...?

@ChrisW67 Stacked icon as in using two or more icons from font awesome and merging them into one single icon (like merging stop icon with camera icon).

I did some research online, all that I learnt is that it is possible to stack icons in QtAwesome, but I couldn't find any guides or documentations on how to do it in C++.

I'm on Qt 5.13 on Windows FYI.

I quickly googled QtAwesome because I don't know it. The first hit was for Python. There it tells about stacked icons. Only after that I figured out that there is also a C++ version available. I am not sure in how far these are related at all. I suspect they don't share source code at all. I does not look like the C++ variant has stacking of icons. You would have to implement that yourself.

@SimonSchroeder The QtAwesome Python library was probably imported from the C++ version. I couldn't find any reference documentation for stacked icons in C++, thus it's probable it's possible only in the Python library.

Hi,

When you say stacking, do you mean draw on top of each other ?

[ScleaverZer0ne]

@SGaist Something like that.
