Give the "check for updates" menu entry an icon.

[ghost]

For the sake of keeping qBittorrent's menus consistent and filled with visual cues, there should be an icon for Help > Check for Updates.

Here's a screenshot to show what I'm asking for, with @bertyhell proposing an icon, but the issue is that there's currently no icon linked to that menu option at all. I'm sure many people will agree that while this request is minor, it adds to the visual style of qBittorrent.

@sledgehammer999 Are you still against this?

Previous view-refresh icon could be used OR the check-updates icon could be added to maintain colour scheme

Modifications to \src\gui\mainwindow.cpp

m_ui->actionCheckForUpdates->setIcon(UIThemeManager::instance()->getIcon("view-refresh"));

or

m_ui->actionCheckForUpdates->setIcon(UIThemeManager::instance()->getIcon("check-updates"));

(Also requires check-updates icon to be added to icons.qrc file)

Modifications to \src\gui\mainwindow.cpp

m_ui->actionCheckForUpdates->setIcon(UIThemeManager::instance()->getIcon("view-refresh"));

Which line do I modify or add?

@xavier2k6 View-refresh icon or this?

[xavier2k6]

View-refresh icon or this?

No real preference but if you go with the different icon make sure you name it check-updates or something...

Which line do I modify or add?

File that needs to be "modified" is \src\gui\mainwindow.cpp

You add below in full if going with view-refresh
m_ui->actionCheckForUpdates->setIcon(UIThemeManager::instance()->getIcon("view-refresh"));

or

You add below in full if going with check-updates
m_ui->actionCheckForUpdates->setIcon(UIThemeManager::instance()->getIcon("check-updates"));

most of the icons are currently based on fontawesome. So i propose to use this icon: https://fontawesome.com/v5.15/icons/sync-alt?style=solid
