Button Icon should be next to text

[Loewe111]

Describe the bug
If you set an icon on a button its just applied like a background ( see first image) , it would make more sense to place it next to the text

current behavior:

To Reproduce
Steps to reproduce the behavior:

1. Go to 'Virtual Console'
2. Create a button with text
3. Set an icon (using the context menu)
4. See error

Expected behavior
The icon should be placed next to the text (preferably on the left) like in the second image

This is as designed: a text with a background image.
QLC+ doesn't know you're setting an icon and doesn't know you want it aligned on the right (what if someone wants it to be aligned on the left? top-left? bottom-left? bottom-right? etc..)
I suggest to create background images as you prefer and apply only that

When i right click on a button i have two options, background and symbol

It seems like they aren't the same thing, because if i set a symbol i am able to select svg, which i am not able to do with a background. They also have different shortcuts, so I assumed they are two different things.

OK, I checked and you're right.
I totally forgot about that feature!
Drawing the icon beside text is not feasible. Text is center aligned and wrapping words.
I propose to draw a custom icon on the top left corner of the button.
In this way you can have flashing icon (top right) + custom icon (top left)
Sounds good?

[Loewe111]

Thats a sounds good, i assume the image would be scaled to a fixed size, right?

That's the idea but I'm still thinking about it.
I believe such change can break existing consoles like this, where they use gobos as icons
