Public bug reported: Running VLC in the Ubuntu Wayland session on 17.10 results in bigger fonts and menus, default blue window decoration and no style applied when default is selected in the settings menu.
I can set a different style than the default and after some poking around and installing some packages (adwaita-qt qt5-gtk-platformtheme qt5-style-plugins, also vlc refused to run I had to install qtwayland5) I was able to successfully set Adwaita or gtk+, but I found no solution for the window decorations and huge text. I'm not sure if this is a problem with qt5 and light-themes or Wayland. - I checked Fedora 26 with Gnome Shell, were the application is rendered as expected (see attached screenshots). I checked on 2 different laptops where I'm currently testing 17.10. Both Ubuntu and Fedora ship VLC 3. - A similar bug appears to have been reported upstream: https://trac.videolan.org/vlc/ticket/17929 - I also searched the Arch Linux wiki for more information, but got no further than this: https://wiki.archlinux.org/index.php/Uniform_look_for_Qt_and_GTK_applications ** Affects: vlc (Ubuntu) Importance: Undecided Status: New -- You received this bug notification because you are a member of Ubuntu Bugs, which is subscribed to Ubuntu. https://bugs.launchpad.net/bugs/1720033 Title: VLC fails to detect correct DPI on Wayland, missing GTK style To manage notifications about this bug go to: https://bugs.launchpad.net/ubuntu/+source/vlc/+bug/1720033/+subscriptions -- ubuntu-bugs mailing list ubuntu-bugs@lists.ubuntu.com https://lists.ubuntu.com/mailman/listinfo/ubuntu-bugs
