toolbar icons different sizes

Post by Hunter2 » Sun Jun 01, 2025 2:25 am

Recently installed Qcad Pro Version 3.32.2.0 (3.32.2) on new computer with OpenSUSE Linux 15.6. I usually keep the Draw and Modify icons open to the left of the drawing. In the past, the icon sizes of the two toolbars have always been the same,. The attached screenshot shows that they are different in the new installation, with the Modify icons being so small that they are hard to use.

How can I make the Modify icons as large as the Draw icons?

Hi,

Leftmost:
Size of the CAD Toolbar icons see: menu Edit .. Application Preferences .. Widgets .. CAD Toolbar
Default was/is 28px in 2 columns.

Size of other Toolbars icons see: App.Prefs. .. Widgets .. Toolbars
Default was/is 24px.

With these values they should be almost equal in size. :wink:


Recent computers may have a higher resolution, compare that with the old resolution.
Also have a look at App.Prefs. .. General .. User Interface

'Auto' should be fine unless QCAD can not detect your screen resolution for some reason.
Perhaps the CAD Toolbar icons are affected but those of the other Toolbars not.
What could be considered as a bug.
In some occasions it is advised to use a different installation package, see for example this related topic.


The Draw.Draw Toolbar are just 3 icons but the Modify Toolbar is much longer.
I don't think that this can always fit vertically besides the drawing panel without scrolling.
You can also display the modification tools in the CAD Toolbar by hitting the button or by typing WM.
Probably faster than scrolling. :wink:

Regards,
CVH

Thanks for you response. I found that by changing the toolbar icon size from 28 pixels (the automatic size for the for the CAD toolbar) to 32 pixels, both sets were the same size, and were the same size when I changed back to 28 pixels.

Thanks,
Shannon
