Icon in QActions

Oumayma

How do I put my icon in the center?
As you can see in the image, my last action has no title but it does have an icon and I want to place it in the center.

Hi
One way is to use a proxy style. Do notice it might not work well with stylesheets.

fast example:

#include <QProxyStyle>
#include <QStyleOptionMenuItem>
class CustomStyle : public QProxyStyle
{
public:
    using QProxyStyle::QProxyStyle;
    void drawControl(ControlElement element, const QStyleOption *opt, QPainter *p,
                     const QWidget *w) const override
    {
        if (element == QStyle::CE_MenuItem) {
            QStyleOptionMenuItem myMenuOption;
            const QStyleOptionMenuItem *menuOption =
                qstyleoption_cast<const QStyleOptionMenuItem *>(opt);
            if (menuOption) {
                const int width = pixelMetric(PM_SmallIconSize);
                myMenuOption = *menuOption;
                QRect r(myMenuOption.rect);
                r.setLeft( (r.width() / 2) - (width / 2) );
                myMenuOption.rect = r;
            }
            QProxyStyle::drawControl(element, &myMenuOption, p, w);
            return;
        }
        QProxyStyle::drawControl(element, opt, p, w);
    }
};

... (in cpp) 
ui->menuFile->setStyle(new CustomStyle);
