I like that idea. That should work. > No, only if the stylesheets were just setting colors. I should have been more clear. Yes, I understand what QPalette does, and it isn't going to replace every local stylesheet. Thus this discussion. > Can you show me?

The things they were saying resonated with my perspective from several years ago, but I don't have any trouble appreciating why thinking would have changed since then. Stylesheets seemed like the best thing ever, but what I tried to do with stylesheets was a complete nightmare. I was already thinking way back then that QStyle would be a better way to go, now that I remember. For another thing, I use some commercial Qt software that has exactly the same problems with file dialogs and random other problems. All the screen caps in the manual for that stuff are done with Windows, and it really highlights how mangled the Linux version is on KDE5. I can't whine to developers who are nice enough to offer their product to the handful of freaks who want to use Linux, but if that software were open source I would want to go in and fix that. I imagine the solution for them is the same: get rid of stylesheets! > Yes you had to do that once you started using stylesheets, because they made > QPalette useless. Ah yes. Now I remember. > QPalette is guaranteed to work, as long as you don't use stylesheets. No danger of that ever happening again. You forgot one of the reasons against. From Qt version to Qt version, subtle things changed and broke along the way. What was working was no longer working. That is one reason why there were so many layers of hacks. I deeply appreciate the work you did, and am committed to abolishing the last remaining stylesheets. I will finish that work as time allows. Sadly, this has been an especially horrific week. -- D.
