Now Qt themes are recognised and loaded normally. :-) maybe we should provide some options in e to set these to specific values for user preferences - we set it to gtk2 as this was the most common that allows for the best seamless experience years ago. things change. so could someone do a write-up of what env vars need to be set to what values to get specific results? e.g. qt "kde look": QT_XXX_YYY=a QT_AAA_B=xyz qt "upstream qt5 look": QT_XXX_YYY=b QT_AAA_B=efg qt "mimic gtk2 look": QT_XXX_YYY=c QT_AAA_B=hij qt "mimic gtk3 look": QT_XXX_YY=d QT_AA_B=lmn ... you get the idea. so we can present a list of 3,4 or 5 options for qt app looks and then set env vars right. -- - Codito, ergo sum - "I code, therefore I am" -- Carsten Haitzler - ras...@rasterman.com ___ enlightenment-users mailing list enlightenment-users@lists.sourceforge.net https://lists.sourceforge.net/lists/listinfo/enlightenment-users

Ha! Found the solution: Removed the /etc/X11/Xsession.d/99qt5ct file which is not installed by default in Gentoo (may be a distro specific solution). Used e's GUI to set both an empty QT_STYLE_OVERRIDE and QT_QPA_PLATFORMTHEME as qt5ct.

Yes, setting $QT_STYLE_OVERRIDE to a blank value using e's Settings/Advanced/ Environment Variables works in clearing the default gtk2 value. Adding the contents of the /etc/X11/Xsession.d/99qt5ct file Sergio mentioned also works in defining $QT_QPA_PLATFORMTHEME as qt5ct. What doesn't work is starting any KDE application and having it load the Qt theme I have selected. The only exception seems to be when I launch a KDE application from within urxvt, whereby the Qt theme is respected and loads as expected. The urxvt terminal output where Qt theme works is this: $ kwrite qt5ct: using qt5ct plugin QApplication: invalid style override passed, ignoring it. qt5ct: D-Bus global menu: no QXcbConnection: XCB error: 5 (BadAtom), sequence: 955, resource id: 0, major code: 19 (DeleteProperty), minor code: 0 While the terminology/xterm output where Qt theme is ignored is this: $ kwrite QApplication: invalid style override passed, ignoring it. -- Regards, Mick ___ enlightenment-users mailing list enlightenment-users@lists.sourceforge.net https://lists.sourceforge.net/lists/listinfo/enlightenment-users

Since then much has changed so if someone wants to test and suggest a new default that will work better out of the box that would be great. qt5ct probably isn't an acceptable default as its generally not installed by default on distro's -- Simon Lees (Simotek)http://simotek.net Emergency Update Team keybase.io/simotek SUSE Linux Adelaide Australia, UTC+10:30 GPG Fingerprint: 5B87 DB9D 88DC F606 E489 CEC5 0922 C246 02F0 014B ___ enlightenment-users mailing list enlightenment-users@lists.sourceforge.net https://lists.sourceforge.net/lists/listinfo/enlightenment-users
