Agreed :) I'll look into it. Quick update: It would be possible to add an extra iconName property. Unfortunately that is pretty un-generic and all other widgets using KIcons would need a similar property as well (apart form that it already works well here :-)). I'm currently trying to figure out if Qt will provide an interface to add new property types for editing in designer. I'm not sure if it's relevant, but I am able to set the icon on a KIconButton in designer (perhaps this could give a clue how to do it, or does it just use the extra iconName property?). Unfortunately it's the latter. KIconButton has a QString icon property which will set and load the icon on changing. There's actually another drawback to the QString property: It seems the property is changed on every textChanged() signal, so whenever you type a key into the property editor the string gets updated and it will try to reload the icon (which sometimes adds a sloppy feel to it). Admittedly still better than the status quo. With the recent addition of QIcon::fromTheme() we may have luck that Qt Designer natively supports this. http://bugreports.qt.nokia.com/browse/QTBUG-7777 I am closing this as upstream, as it does not make sense to have it only supported in KPushButton. |
