QTabWidget tab height

[drkbkr]

Hi,

I'm trying to alter the height of the tabs in my QTabWidget. I've tried to set a corner widget with the desired height, use an icon to stretch it taller, set the height on the tabBar itself, setting a global strut on the entire application (which has some effect, but not nearly the desired one), and probably a few other things I can't think of right now. None of it has any effect. Does anyone know if this is possible, and if so, how to do it?

Thanks,
Derek

I didn't really try, but maybe this property of QStyle could help you : that implies to subclass QStyle of course, which is really easy ;-)

This a pixel metric property :

QStyle::PM_TabBarTabVSpace -> Extra space added to the tab height.

Thanks, but that had no effect either. And I poked around and found the following the code for the QTabBar class:


// Since tab widget is rather *ahem* strict about keeping the geometry of the
// tabbar to its absolute minimum...

So basically, I think I'm writing my own (which I might have had to do anyway since crazy graphic designers want non-standard shapes for the tabs).
