How can I assign QIcon roles using QIcon::fromTheme?

Kite R

Hi, I'm still fairly new to Qt, any help is appreciated!

I have a custom QIcon, like so:

QIcon customIcon(const char *name, bool withOver) {
  QString on   = QString(":img/") + name + "_on.png";
  QString off  = QString(":img/") + name + "_off.png";
  QString over = QString(":img/") + name + "_over.png";

  QIcon ico;
  ico.addFile(off, QSize(), QIcon::Normal, QIcon::Off);
  ico.addFile(on, QSize(), QIcon::Normal, QIcon::On);
  if (withOver)
    ico.addFIle(over, QSize(), QIcon::Active);
  else
    ico.addFile(on, QSize(), QIcon::Active);

  return ico;
}

However I want to use icons from QIcon::fromTheme to allow the user to switch themes. I'm having trouble rebuilding this custom icon in the same way, as there appears to be no way to set roles? I can't quite figure it out. Here's what I see in my head (this won't work obviously, but just for example):

QIcon customIcon(const char *name, bool withOver) {
  QString on   = QString(name) + "_on.png";
  QString off  = QString(name) + "_off.png";
  QString over = QString(name) + "_over.png";

  QIcon ico = QIcon::fromTheme(name);
  ico.addFile(off, QSize(), QIcon::Normal, QIcon::Off);
  ico.addFile(on, QSize(), QIcon::Normal, QIcon::On);
  if (withOver)
    ico.addFIle(over, QSize(), QIcon::Active);
  else
    ico.addFile(on, QSize(), QIcon::Active);

  return ico;
}

I want to take all the pseudo state files in the theme (on, off, over) and convert them to a QIcon, I hope that makes sense!

Hi,

You are likely adding states that have already been filled. Therefore when the painting happens, the originally added files/pixmap are found first and used.
