Is the button associated with some QAction? (It looks like for me) If 
yes, create a new QAction, set its icon, text, tooltip, etc. then 
associate this action with your toolbutton (via setDefaultAction()), 
then set your toolbutton's style to as what I've already written. HTH

BTW. you _can_ make a QToolBar that doesn't allow to be moved. See the 
QToolBar docs and look for the `floatable` and `movable` properties. 
Once set a toolbar, add your buttons and call setToolButtonStyle on it, 
so all toolbuttons on it will have the same style (-> code less :)
