How to make size of button in the LineEdit smaller?

I made the X button in the LineEdit, when i click on this button, the LineEdit is clear. But with my method, the X button looks a little big and not beautiful, I need to make it smaller. How I can do it?

enter image description here

myLineEdit = new LineEdit;
myLineEdit->setFixedHeight( 25 );
m_clear = m_lineEdit->addAction( QIcon( ":/clearButton" ), QLineEdit::TrailingPosition );

the size of clearButton.png is 12x12 px, so in this case it is enlarged and looks not beautiful like this.

For this solution it is assumed that in the original image the relationship between the foreground size and the background is 1: 1 (this is normal in the icons), so the solution is to increase that relationship, for this we create a new image

QPixmap in(":/clearButton");
QPixmap out(in.size()*10/7);
QRect r= in.rect();
r.moveCenter(out.rect().center());
out.fill(Qt::transparent);

QPainter painter(&out);
painter.drawPixmap(r , in);
painter.end();

QLineEdit *m_lineEdit = new QLineEdit;
m_lineEdit->setFixedHeight(25);
m_lineEdit->addAction(QIcon(out), QLineEdit::TrailingPosition);
