<![CDATA[PushButton spacing with Icon]]>Hello experts,

I am trying to add a pushbutton with a iCon inside that changes on click ( Basically a toggle button behavior.).
I prefer to make the icon taking the complete space of the button, so that it looks like a real switch-button. However some spacing appears in the button (after the icon's boundary) making it look ugly. How can I avoid this spacing of the button .

Thanks in advance,
A new-bee of QT

setStyleSheet("border: none;");

But it may affect some other styled appearance.

Is there any way to avoid this border? I want the icon to completely fit the button without any border

i.e 3/4 pixels after the icon)

Please be more precise what you mean here - QPushButton draw a border around the icon + some text. If you don't need text you can maybe also go with a QToolButton

  • Currently I am doing similar to below code
    QPixmap pixmap("...x.jpg");
    QIcon ButtonIcon(pixmap);
    button->setIcon(ButtonIcon);
    button->setIconSize(pixmap.rect().size());
  • It shows the icon however, there are spacing appears in button's boundary ( i.e 3/4 pixels after the icon)
  • I am using QT 5.9
  • OS: Windows

How are you doing it currently ?
How does it show ?
What version of Qt are you using ?
On what OS ?
