QCustomActionButton

QCustomActionButton

A round icon button with a caption beneath it.

The "quick action" tile seen on profile panels and toolbars (Profile / Mute / Search, Call / Video, …): a circular icon button over a small caption label. The icon is a normal Qt icon so it can be set in Designer OR from QSS (#objectName { qproperty-icon: url(theme-icons:…) }) and recolours with the theme; colours are qproperties. Emits clicked. Designer-droppable, so a row of these is assembled in the form, not hand-built in Python.

Quick start

from Custom_Widgets.QCustomActionButton import QCustomActionButton

widget = QCustomActionButton()
widget.icon = QIcon(_iconPath("paid.png"))
widget.caption = "Transfer"

That is the exact code behind the screenshot above.

Dark theme

Colours come from the design tokens, so the widget follows the app theme with no extra work.
