qt: add text to toolbar button
The toolbar button is very small and some users probably don't even
notice it. As we have lots of space in the toolbar anyways i think it
makes sense to add some text to it to make it more visible and easier to
click. Maybe this is also useful for screen readers.
What changed, and why it matters
This commit is a minor user-interface improvement: it adds the visible text label 'Tools' next to a small toolbar button in Electrum's Qt desktop wallet. There is no security change, no bug fix, and no behavior change beyond making the button easier to see and click.
No security action needed. Treat as a normal UI/UX change during routine review.
Security signals we found
No strong security signals were identified.
Evidence from the diff
The patch modifies electrum/gui/qt/my_treeview.py’s create_toolbar_with_menu() helper. It calls setText(_(‘Tools’)) and setToolButtonStyle(Qt.ToolButtonStyle.ToolButtonTextBesideIcon) on the QToolButton so the toolbar button displays both an icon and localized text. No signal handlers, permissions, input handling, or cryptographic code are touched.
