tremulous spinning icons

[termim]

I noticed that all spinning icons do shake a little while rotating. Is there a way to make it smooth as on the original web page?

Did you notice this on the animated gif or while running the demo?

Hi, I'm still seeing this issue, running 0.4.4 on Windows.

        self.loading_button = QtGui.QPushButton()
        self.loading_icon = qtawesome.icon(
            'fa.spinner', animation=qtawesome.Spin(self.loading_button))
        self.loading_button.setIcon(self.loading_icon)

Using this, the spinning icons does indeed spin, but shakes while it's rotating - kind of a bummer, because this was the only icon I needed from the package.

Is there anything that has been done to address this?

It actually shakes faster than this, my recording was only recording at 15fps.

It also isn't just that single icon (fa.spinner), it's any icon.

I have the same problem on Ubuntu, I think it has something to do with alignment

https://github.com/spyder-ide/qtawesome/blob/master/qtawesome/iconic_font.py#L162

Because if I replace painter.drawText(rect, Qt.AlignCenter | Qt.AlignVCenter, char) by painter.drawText(rect, 0, char) icons are not shaking anymore but rotate eccentric

I suppose somewhere there's a rounding or something treats as int instead of float

as a workaround I increased the rotating speed (step=10) so the shaking is not visible

This is the only solution I can see so far :-\

Looks ok on Mac

What if render it larger and downscale icon? Render 128*128 / 4 The only reason animation is useless - shaking and buggy looks
