Theoretically, yes. The qt6 LO backend looks quite similar to the gtk3 backend and is non-CSD. And if configured correctly, qt6 automatically tries to generate qt6 theme settings from the current gtk3 theme, with acceptable results (I don't know if qt6 will also translate gtk4 themes with similar results). In practice, there will always be people voting against qt6, either because they want an absolutely uniform UI, or because they have no other application depending on qt6 on their system and would have to install and configure qt6 just for LO. gtk3 desktops (especially Xfce and Lxde) are the preferred desktops for small systems, down to rasperry pi and below, and judging by those system's standards, qt6 is huge. But that's all in the future. As long as Xfce, Mate etc. are gtk3, and as log as both gtk3 and the LO gtk3 backend are supported, to my opinion a non-CSD gtk3 LO backend and a CSD gtk4 backend will make most users with gtk environments happy. Currently there seems to be little need for a non-CSD gtk4 backend or a substitute for such a backend. Gentoo just tried to drop the gtk3 LO backend a little bit too early... -- You are receiving this mail because: You are the assignee for the bug.
