[Qt-interest] icons

[Szalata, Zenon M.]

I am very new to QT.  I have installed QT 4.7 and am learning how to use the designer.  I am experimenting with main window widget.  I have created a main window, added a couple of menus in the menu bar.  Then I wanted to add the actions which got created for the menu items to the tools bar and it seems that the designer does not know where to get icons that could be used with the actions.

Looking at the directory tree where I have installed QT, I find many *.png files.  How do I configure the designer to use the appropriate directory containing icons?

I am following the exercise in "The Book of QT4: The Art of Building QT Applications" by Daniel Molkentin.  The exercise is to build a small text editor.  It needs icons for New, Open, Save, Cut, Copy, Paste, etc.
When I put the Action Editor in Icon View I see only empty squares.

Thanks in advance.
