How To Style QPushButton Icon?

[maximo]

I see that we can set the icon property on a QPushButton. I can change the size of it. However, how do I reposition it slightly? Can I use a stylesheet to do that?

Hi
not sure the if the image-position works with icon but you could try
http://doc.qt.io/qt-5/stylesheet-reference.html#image-prop

@mrjj Tried that. I can set a background-image to point to my image resource URL, and then use background-position to position it, but it won't let me do anything except position names. It doesn't support pixel sizing like so:

background-position:4px left;

@maximo
Ok, I kinda feared it would not.

@mrjj The only fix I could come up with was creating some transparent background space around the icon image itself, and then moving the icon within that space. I then deleted the old resource image and re-imported the new one. Now my icons line up properly with the text on the right.

@maximo
Well, its an ok work around I guess.

@mrjj I guess it would be nice if the Qt developers would provide a stylesheet setting in Qt5.6 (coming soon, perhaps) that allows one to position that icon a little better.

Agree.
I wonder if there is something secret I missed in some Doc.
