[SOLVED] QTreeView drawing selection with icons

[Timewarp]

Hi all,

I'm trying to display 3 icons in the first 3 columns of a QTreeView. I did this by creating a model and returning a QIcon in the DecorationRole of the data function (the icon depends on the data of the item). This works quite ok but when selecting a row the selection looks quite ugly imo (as you can see in the first pic I attached). Because of the icons are placed very close to each other the selection looks more like a separator than a selection and I'm looking for a solution like in the second pic attached (taken from eMule) where the selection surrounds the icon.

The problem I'm facing now is that I don't really know where to start.

I think either my approach to use the decoration is not that good and drawing the icon in another way (but which one ?) would solve ths problem automatically ...

or

I have to reimplement the QTreeView class and handle drawing the selection by myself. But also here I'm not really sure where to start.

any ideas about this ?
