Does Qt Embedded support PNG

Hi,

I am having some trouble displaying PNGs on my embedded platform, just wondering if it is supported. I have created some icons which I can display on my no bother when running my app in an i386 environment but no such luck in an embedded one.

Thanks.

Yes, PNG should be supported on all platforms Qt runs on.

Even it is running on the framebuffer. I have designed the gui using designer, would the PNGs be embedded into the code some how or is there a file location that the pngs should eb in?

It depends if you use Qt resources or not. Adding a png file to a form in Designer is not enough to embed the file into the binary. You either have to make that file available during runtime (remember about relative paths) or use Qt resources.
