QToolButton margins

[bjoernbg]

Hello everyone,

I'm trying to display the QToolButtons in my QToolBar in a specific way. To achieve the look I want I need to set the spacing between toolbuttons to 0. However, I don't know how to do that, I always get a 1px space between each QToolButton.

Anyone know a solution?

Cheers!

I guess you could try with:

toolbar->layout()->setSpacing(0);

toolbar->layout()->setSpacing(0);

To copy to clipboard, switch view to plain text mode 

but I'm not sure if it works.

Unfortunately, it doesn't work. I see no changes.

Any other ideas?

ok, I found the solution myself, though it's not perfect. As you cannot change the layout for the toolbar itself, you add a QWidget with a layout of your choice (spacing = 0 in my case) to the toolbar and add your toolbar items to that widget... it breaks the functionality to dock the toolbar horizontally and vertically though.

You can customize the spacing of the QToolButtons by applying a stylesheet to your QToolBar. Use the following line of code to set the margin to zero: slope game

toolbar.setStyleSheet("QToolButton { margin: 0px; padding: 0px; }")

This will remove any default spacing and ensure the buttons are displayed without any gaps.
