Toolbar Mac/Windows

Targets macOS
1

I’m still trying to get some consistency of my toolbar between mac and windows with icons but also spacing.

I notice my icons look larger on Windows than Mac but I am still testing if it is a resolution issue.

But I also noticed that my separators and spacers disappear on Windows

Can’t look at you code currently. ToolStyleSpace & ToolStyleFlexibleSpace is supported on macOS & Linux only. Maybe you need to use ToolStyleSeparator for Windows (only)?

In your Mac toolbar image I only see (flexible) spaces.
(Flexible) Space is not supported on Windows.
On Windows use a separator.

ToolStyleSeparator - The ToolButton is a separator. Not supported on macOS.

ToolStyleSpace - The ToolButton is a fixed-width space between ToolButtons. This is not supported on Windows, so no extra button or space appears.

ToolStyleFlexibleSpace - The ToolButton is a variable-width space between ToolButtons. It right-aligns the buttons to its right as the window is resized. This is not supported on Windows, so no extra space or button will be inserted.[/quote]

Martin:
On Mac OS, the used Icons are resized if needed, not on WIndows.

To be sure, in your project, use a 64 x 64 icon and run…

Also, we do not know the kind of screen you use, so for the screen shot… if the Mac Screen shot is done on a Retina monitor… or the Windows x on a HiDPI monitor…

I watched more carefully your screen shot and noticed the size of the WIndows one: 1366 x 768.

Try to run your application on a different monitor. Comparin this kind of display to others (2346 206 on the Mac OS screen shot) is a very bad idea. IMHO.

ok, thanks everyone for the advice

since my toolbar is table driven, i need to resize the image before using it in the toolbar
