Spacing between menu icons
Hi everybody,
I don't have many icons in the menu and I'd like to increase the space between them for aesthetic and functional reasons. Is there a way to do it? Thanks. |

No, but you can make the icons larger (if you don't already use the largest size) in Preferences -> Look & Feel. You can also display text labels under the icons (again, if you're not doing this already), that will space them out somewhat.

Thanks,
One of the main reasons I wanted to increase spacing for was to get text labels fully displayed... |

No, this is something under the control of Qt the toolkit calibre uses not calibre itself.

Personally, I have the opposite problem: too many features I regularly use. The most used (19 of them) would not fit on the toolbar with the text displayed (even with two text rows), as I like my text a bit larger than in your screenshot. So I only display icons without text for those 19, and put the rest in the Favourites plugin.

For some reason some library titles keep being cropped even though there's enough space to show them... well, I'll live with it... Thanks!

Anyway, you misunderstood me. Even with only text instead of icons, the 19 features I frequently use won't fit on the toolbar. With only icons and no text they fit; so that's what I use. Last edited by Sirtel; 04-19-2024 at 06:56 AM. |

In Jr High, there was the "board of education" stored in the chalk tray. It got used IN FRONT of the Class (no false claims of what was done or not).
