Submitted with commit 92c01a6b3ed5b13ddbf5ecd95528915d3038b8e9 by René J.V. Bertin to branch master.


Repository: qtcurve


Description
-------

This introduces an option (hidden for now) to adorn checked menu items with only a check mark rather than the same widget that is used for checkboxes or radio buttons (for sets of mutually exclusive menu items).

Initially I implemented this by simply skipping the widget "box" and drawing only the checkbox tick for both kinds of menu items (cf. https://bugs.kde.org/show_bug.cgi?id=363895). I then realised that this looks weird when the user uses a very tall or tiny font (or has a high DPI screen). Therefore the check is now generated using the UniCode `Check Mark` glyph (? cf. http://www.fileformat.info/info/unicode/char/2713/index.htm) rendered in the menu font (or `Apple Symbols`, on OS X).

A new member is introduced in the `Options` structure that controls this new behaviour. Its value is read from and written to the config file, but I have not yet implemented its UI control through the configuration interface. I'll want some guidance for that step.

I propose to make this the default behaviour on OS X, so that popup menus can be closer in appearance to the native menus from the toplevel menubar (those menus are not rendered through Qt, and use a single check mark too).

The GTk2 style already rendered checked menu items like this so I did not change anything there (and don't really plan to touch that code at all).
