We do override it for two reasons: 1) the default style mimics one of the many styles even Microsofts own applications used over the years - which means calling it default platform style is not the best wording. 2) KDE on Windows brings a set of applications which are highly integrated. To show that these apps belong together, a common style is a good thing imo. > > If we're shifting from the idea of KDE as an environment to KDE as a framework > (or a set of frameworks), that should include matching the native style of the > platform. Who is we anyway (this is actually something for a blogpost)?

To end this discussion: KDE on Windows uses oxygen as its default style because there is no other good looking style out there, because a Windows default style simply doesn't exist (there is a Qt default windows style, but that is different). This could be changed in the future, but I doubt it will happen. People who think that KDE on Windows shouldn't build kde-workspace are simply bringing up the same arguments that have been answered 5 years ago; if you accept that KDE on Windows exists and is part of KDE, then we are allowed to build & distribute what we can. How we distribute our efforts is something that the KDE on Windows developers will decide for themselves, and cannot be commanded by somebody else. regards, Patrick -- Configure bugmail: https://bugs.kde.org/userprefs.cgi?tab=email ------- You are receiving this mail because: ------- You are the assignee for the bug. _______________________________________________ Kde-windows mailing list [email protected] https://mail.kde.org/mailman/listinfo/kde-windows
