QSystemTrayIcon is blurred if it's not square

[adutzu89]

I'm trying to make a system tray icon from text info.
If I set the image size to 22x22 the text is ok, if I set it to 44x22(which is what I desire) the text goes blurry.
I have tried changing the font size and devicePixelRatio but nothing solves, I also tried making it from 2 images of size 22x22(both scaled and unscaled with KeepAspectRation).

This is the code:

QImage image(44, 22, QImage::Format_ARGB32_Premultiplied);
image.fill(QColor(0,0,0,0));
QPainter painter(&image);
painter.setPen(QColor(Qt::white));
painter.drawText(QRect(22, 0, 22, 22), Qt::AlignRight, weather);

I also tried changing the image format. Anyone knows what's the issue?

Hi,

The issue comes from your expectation, QSystemTrayIcon uses square icons, see here.

Hi SGaist,

Isn't there a way to make rectangular icons like I've seen on other applications, somehow?(which aren't written in Qt)

Windows (7) only supports square ones so I don't think it's possible to have cross platform support for such a feature

I see, thank you.
