Spacing between menu icons

[minisergium]

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.

Ok, thanks anyway

So, don't show the icons, they're a waste of space anyway:

Try this:

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.

Good option for me! Will try, thanks!

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!

By the time I started school they'd stopped teaching hieroglyphics and iconography. You learnt your letters, if not Mr Budd would rap your knuckles with his metre ruler or Mr Kneller would bounce his blackboard duster off your ear.

Physical punishment was not allowed by the time I started school.

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.

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).

Is the disclosure and consultation icon a plugin?

It's just his active library name (Divulgación y consulta).
