Re: [Interest] Add margin spacing between QComboBox item icon and text ?

[william.croc...@analog.com]

I do not remember why I added a styleSheet. Perhaps to make it more fat-finger
touch-friendly for Android or iOS. Anyway, I must re-think and re-test.


I always tell my customers to stay away from style sheets. They are way more
trouble than what they are worth.



My complaint:

Some things can be done both with a function call on a widget or
by applying a style sheet. This is good.

Other things can only be done using a style sheet.
This is bad because it forces the use a style sheet
and the application of a style sheet will fail quietly
if you make a syntax error. Even if your theory is right on.

I use C++ because I want a strongly typed language which complains during
compilation over a large class of mistakes. The style sheet processor never
says a dam thing no matter how much garbage I give it.

Everything you can do with a style sheet can also be done using a

Style sheets and widgets seem to be trial-and-error.

This is one of the issues that keep me from using QML.  Similar to using style 
sheets used with QWidgets, QML development seems to be trial-and-error.

With QML development I spend much time searching for magical QML source code 
examples to cut & copy some source snippets.  I finally get it to look nice on 
OS X, then I run on iOS and maybe it looks nice or maybe it does not.  Then I 
move on to testing on Android and some missing dependency prevents it from even 
executing.  I am not saying QWidgets looks better on mobile devices than QML 
but perhaps they are more predictable.

While I appreciate the more-native look of QML, it seems that each time I 
attempt to start using it I get a bit closer to adopting it, however, I always 
end up reverting back to to my old-school QWidgets.  I need to take a a day or 
two of QML training.

I appreciate my compiler complaints.  Full-blown -Wall, turn on every-added 
warning I can find, always enable -Werror so I do not get lazy and start 
ignoring the noise.

You are correct. My mistake.

I could not reproduce when I made a new app using both SVG and PNG image 
sources.

The root cause was my icon sizes were too big for the QComboBox::iconSize.  I 
had also found some stylesheet commands I had added to the QComboBox.

I do not remember why I added a styleSheet.  Perhaps to make it more fat-finger 
touch-friendly for Android or iOS.  Anyway, I must re-think and re-test.

Thank you for taking time to reply.

We experience a similar behavior with Qt 5.3.2 on Linux, but only when using 
style sheets. There seems to be no option to get rid of the tick mark. See 
attached screenshot...

[Interest] Add margin spacing between QComboBox item icon and text ?

[Edward Sutton]

When the QComboBox drop-down is activated, the icons overlay the text making it 
hard to read.

Is there a property or style sheet to adjust this?

For the currently selected its, the icon and text have good spacing QComboBox.

[cid:329FA5E8-77C2-4F8C-8849-96D4DEB58A7A@ditchwitch.cmw.internal]


Item icon overlays text.
