           Summary: Tiny buttons and lack of spacing in KToolbar library
                    class
           Product: kdevelop
           Version: 3.0.0a4
          Platform: SuSE RPMs
        OS/Version: Linux
            Status: NEW
          Severity: normal
          Priority: NOR
         Component: general
        AssignedTo: kdevelop-devel at kdevelop.org
        ReportedBy: ianw at netspace.net.au


Version:           3.0.0a4 (using KDE 3.1.1)
Installed from:    SuSE
Compiler:          gcc version 3.3 20030226 (prerelease) (SuSE Linux)
OS:          Linux (i686) release 2.4.20-4GB

I am working at 1280x1024 screen resolution.  Most KDE toolbar buttons are
tiny (5mm) and hard to see properly.  To get around this, I wrote code in my
application to use QMatrix and setUsesBigPixmaps() and expand my toolbar
pixmaps (depending on current screen resolution).  That worked fine with
QToolBar but has no effect when I use KToolBar.  My buttons stay small.

Also, in QToolBar, setHorizontallyStretchable() spaced out my buttons and
made them easier to read.  That does not work in KToolBar.  All the buttons
get pushed up to one end.  The only way I can find to space them out a bit
is to do lots of "insertSeparator()" calls.  Maybe we need margin and
spacing functions in KToolBar.
