Cant change the size of spinBox node

4.2

Is there a way to change the size of the spinBox node ?
then min size is always x83.063 y31…

[Locher]

it depends on its parent node. Some nodes restrict setting the node size of their children. How does it look in the editor?

It doesnt have a parent…
You can make an empty scene make the 1st node a spinBox

I think the parent is in the spinBox node itself, its a child of lineEdit or vice Versa

That happens because the LineEdit minimum size is calculated using the LineEdit.minumum_character_width theme constant and the font assigned to it.

If you want to make it smaller you’ll need to add a Theme overriding that value or use an script like:

extends SpinBox


func _ready() -> void:
	var line_edit = get_line_edit()
	# Set the minumum character width of the line edit to 1
	line_edit.add_theme_constant_override("minimum_character_width", 1)
	# Resize the spin box to update the size
	size = Vector2.ZERO

Result:

thanks,
It only works in script ? Or can it be done in the editor ?

If you want to do it in the editor you’ll need to add a Theme and override that constant as said before.

theme override only takes the icon…
I think it only works on script
