Finding nice artwork for your UI is a pain, especially if you want a consistent look. But Qt DLL's have a bunch of icons (also known as "pixmaps" in the Qt world) built in. They are there, so you might as well use them: Code (C): #include <QPushButton> #include <QStyle> QPushButton* button = new QPushButton(this); button->setIcon(style()->standardIcon(QStyle::SP_DirOpenIcon)); This will create a standard Qt button, but will have a "file open" icon, suitable for use on a browse button for a save dialog, for example. You can see that the icon is defined as an enum as a member of the QStyle class. A full list of the icons available in Qt 5.0 is here: http://doc.qt.io/qt-5/qstyle.html#StandardPixmap-enum Hope you find this tip useful to improve the look of your own Qt applications.

I actuelly didnt know Qt had standard icons for various standard stuff. so same icon, but in PyQt would be line 31 Code (Python): from PyQt4 import QtCore, QtGui try: _fromUtf8 = QtCore.QString.fromUtf8 except AttributeError: def _fromUtf8(s): return s try: _encoding = QtGui.QApplication.UnicodeUTF8 def _translate(context, text, disambig): return QtGui.QApplication.translate(context, text, disambig, _encoding) except AttributeError: def _translate(context, text, disambig): return QtGui.QApplication.translate(context, text, disambig) class Ui_Form(object): def setupUi(self, Form): Form.setObjectName(_fromUtf8("Form")) Form.resize(400, 300) self.pushButton = QtGui.QPushButton(Form) self.pushButton.setGeometry(QtCore.QRect(114, 102, 111, 51)) self.pushButton.setObjectName(_fromUtf8("pushButton")) self.retranslateUi(Form) QtCore.QMetaObject.connectSlotsByName(Form) def retranslateUi(self, Form): Form.setWindowTitle(_translate("Form", "Form", None)) self.pushButton.setText(_translate("Form", "", None)) self.pushButton.setIcon(QtGui.qApp.style().standardIcon(QtGui.QStyle.SP_DirOpenIcon)) if __name__ == "__main__": import sys app = QtGui.QApplication(sys.argv) Form = QtGui.QWidget() ui = Ui_Form() ui.setupUi(Form) Form.show() sys.exit(app.exec_())
