QToolButton to look like a QPushButton when in MenuButtonPopup mode
Message 1 in thread
Hey guys,
I need to use a QToolButton with a pop-up menu (MenuButtonPopup mode). For
example, the back and forward buttons in firefox have this functionality.
The thing is that the arrow that shows that there is a menu is HUGE when using
a QToolButton. Almost the same height as the pixmap icon, and displayed next
to the actual button. On the other hand, a QPushButton has a nice small arrow
in the lower right corner, just like firefox, but it doesn't have the same
functionality.
Did I miss something? Anyone been here before?
Thanks,
Pete

You could try to alter the apearance using a style sheet?

Excellent, thanks AndrÃ. I forgot just how powerful the Qt style sheets are.
If anyone else is interested here is the info I missed:
