When I first read that I didn't see how this could be true. It seemed you were saying that applications on Windows and Mac were creating icon pixmaps at runtime (because they can't get native pixmap from the OS and they wouldn't ship icon data). Now, you've most likely seen way more Qt apps than I have, but all I have seen were shipping icons, most of them as part of their resources, some as files. Both mechanisms which by design load icon data by name, so at least from my empirical data I am quite puzzled to learn that iconName would be sufficient for specifying icons. Drawing icons on demand sounds very cumbersome to me. Cheers, Kevin -- Kevin Krammer | kevin.kram...@kdab.com | Software Engineer Klarälvdalens Datakonsult AB, a KDAB Group company Tel.
