Change icon size to em

[steff456]

The icons in big screens are not resized as expected making them to be too small for the toolbar

[mIgLLL]

I have the same problem.

What's your screen resolution @mIgLLL?

It seems we need to do this to solve the bug: https://stackoverflow.com/questions/55842276/how-to-resize-or-scale-a-qicon

I don't have solution so I roll back to 4.2.3, and I am just reporting this bug. LOL

哥，意思是问你的屏幕分辨率是多少，并不是问你解决方法是什么。。。

Same problem here. Enable auto high DPI scaling option is not working for me.

Me too :<

[ccaprani]

Me too :<

Me three. Same issue; changing the DPI doesn't do anything.

[green-slowmoe]

same here. DPI scaling did the trick on 4.x, but not anymore

So why do you move the milestone from 5.0.2 all to 5.1.1? Is there any way for us to solve this problem like changing a setup file?

Because we didn't have time to implement this for previous versions.

No, there isn't, sorry.

[Firestar-Reimu]

I found a temporary solution for this:

set it to 1.0, it will restart but nothing changed, so:
close the console, then open the console and start spyder

This method will make the icons fit the words, but the buttons are still E X T R E M E L Y L A R G E.

Version: Spyder 5.0.5, Python 3.9.5, Qt 5.9.7

What happens if instead you select the Enable auto high DPI scaling option instead?

It returns to the wrong display:

[ccordoba12]

Ok, what if you adjust the scaling factor to be 1.125?

[Firestar-Reimu]

It will be sized to 112.5%, both icon and text, also for any scaling factor > 1.0

[ccordoba12]

I know, but that could help to fix the scaling issues with buttons.

So you cannot change the iconSize property of QToolBar?

[ccordoba12]

It is possible, but we haven't had time to take a look at that, sorry.

Hi,

Will the resizing of the icons in Spyder 5.1.5 ever be addressed? I was able to resize once, but it's reverted back to such tiny letter it's impossible to read the icons unless I use a jeweler's loupe. Just ridiculous.

Thanks

Today test on 5.3.1:

[frispete]

Hi, 5.4.2 with current Linux Tumbleweed on a 16" display with 3840x2400: Custom scale factor: 1.2 Best result with QT_AUTO_SCREEN_SCALE_FACTOR=1, but still wastes a lot of space around the icons:

[Firestar-Reimu]

but still wastes a lot of space around the icons

it seems to be a feature

[ccordoba12]

Yes, it is feature to comply with accessibility standards: buttons need to have a minimal size in order to be accesible, and that's the size we're using in Spyder.

[BYUJason]

I fixed this somehow but then I installed a new driver and it's back to having huge icon and menu text and no setting change will fix it. I tried installing the newest version 5.4.3, it did not fix.

Is there a solution in the pipeline yet?

[ccordoba12]

I think this will be fixed in Spyder 6 because we switch from setting buttons' size in ems to pixels.
