Two icons for each item in QMenu?

[drhex]

Try calling setStyle() on your menu, with a style defined like this:

class myStyle: public QPlastiqueStyle
{
    Q_OBJECT
  public:
    int pixelMetric(PixelMetric metric, const QStyleOption * option = 0, const QWidget * widget = 0 ) const
    {
        if (metric == QStyle::PM_SmallIconSize)
            return 32;   // default is 16
        else
            return QPlastiqueStyle::pixelMetric(metric, option, widget);
    }
};

class myStyle: public QPlastiqueStyle
{
    Q_OBJECT
  public:
    int pixelMetric(PixelMetric metric, const QStyleOption * option = 0, const QWidget * widget = 0 ) const
    {
        if (metric == QStyle::PM_SmallIconSize)
            return 32;   // default is 16
        else
            return QPlastiqueStyle::pixelMetric(metric, option, widget);
    }
};

This works fine, however it changes the style of the menu making the application looking bad.

It seems icon size depends on the style and how it decides to draw it. And only QPlastiqueStyle respects PM_SmallIconSize value.

I have created WideIconsMenu class that should solve this problem.

It uses ProxyStyle for Qt4 from QtCentre's wiki, and similar class for Qt3. Both Qt3 and Qt4 are supported.

Multiple icons cannot be used, however WideIconsMenu draws the icons on its own, so icons of any width are supported. Everything you have to do is to compose an icon from several images.
See included examples for more details.

The code is available under GPLv3 license.

If you find a bug, or have a suggestions, please send me an email.

Since Qt 4.6 and above provides QProxyStyle class, the ProxyStyle code is no longer needed.

The attached archive contains 3 versions of WideIconsMenu:
- for Qt 3 (no changes)
- for Qt 4.x (no changes)
- for Qt 4.6+ (new)
