That’s a joke - at roughly the same size I can get 10 buttons on Linux - and the overall look of the toolbar is better there as well:

Hmm - interesting observation. Let me see if I can make it do something
useful with my limited Qt skills :-)

Oh yes I can. You're a genius, Joakim! You pointed me in the right
direction to solve this issue. It wasn't a margin. Apparently on Linux it
always scales the icons to some pre-determined size. But on Mac it doesn't
and allows space for the largest icon.

Now the real solution is of course that we need scalable icons so we can
set the icon size relative to the font size. But for now this seems to get
rid of the worst ugliness on Mac.

THANKS!
