Checklist

  • I have searched for a similar issue in this repository and did not find one.

Description

  1. I think it would be better to remove the "Refresh" button from Toolbar and add the option to update the list using F5, given that we also have the option to do this through the "View" section.
    Refresh

  2. Add a button Reset (Restart), if possible, so that it works in two modes:
    a) If you are in the game, it restarts the game.
    b) If you are not in the game, then it runs the last game you played.

  3. Add a button Fullscreen.

  4. I suggest switching to Pause for the Play button.
    That is, you press Play, the game starts, and the Play button changes its appearance and functionality to Pause. (Play -> Pause)
    If you press Pause, the game pauses, and the Pause button changes its appearance and functionality to Play. (Pause -> Play)
    One button switches its functionality between Play and Pause. (Play -> Pause -> Play)

As a result, you can do something like this (this is just an example):
buttons3

And the option when you have launched the game.
buttons4

  1. Add the option to optionally include explanatory labels for buttons.

buttons3

buttons5

But as you may have noticed, this increases the area below the buttons and also affects the functions on the right (changing the size of icons and search), they will also have to be lowered so that everything looks harmonious.

In "GUI Settings" add the checkbox "Labels for toolbar buttons".

I hope I haven't forgotten anything. 😄

Reason

Compact and user-friendly interface.

I also had the 6th item, but since it was listed in another [Feature Request], I'll just leave a link to the https://github.com/shadps4-emu/shadps4-qtlauncher/issues/43 here.

I tried to put the text below, but the images are different sizes, but if I adjust the sizes it looks strange...
You may also need to correct the size of the images first.

I wouldn't say it looks weird, but rather small, because it would look better if the icons were larger.
If you don't want to delete the refresh button, you can move it beyond the line on the right, and also give the slider (perhaps, but I'm not sure) the label "Icon size". And yes, you're right, you should adjust the size of the images first.
