With your own application you usually want to add your own icons. This is one simple way to add it using Qt’s RCC tool.
It was added the support for partial icon resource. It is implemented according Qt specification. First of all user should create not windows DLL but Qt RCC resource files. It can be compiled using rcc tool. User need to add special post build step to his QRC file, such as
rcc -binary iconres.qrc -o iconres.rcc
Compiled RCC file should be copied to custom icon location path from profile settings. Then customer need to change XML file with ui definitions. We have special attribute “iconResource” for ui definitions. This attribute sets resource for icons.
<definition darkIconName="RCDATA_16_3DCORBIT" lightIconName="RCDATA_16_3DCORBIT" ... iconRecource="iconres.rcc" ... id="ID_3dcorbit" name="Orbita continua 3D"/>
So customer need to do these steps:
compile RCC resource file;
copy RCC file to custom icon location path. By default it is C:\Users\<user>\AppData\Roaming\ARES Commander Edition\<version>
set iconRecource attribute for item definitions in XML file.
