Hi Dave,
that's a different concept, it is the environment variable
QT_STYLE_OVERRIDE that allows the Qt look and feel style to be
controlled. Which BTW is another good reason not to force the style by
changing the desktop launching file since setting via the command line
option means that users cannot override the default using
QT_STYLE_OVERRIDE environment variable.

Why not use an environment variable instead of a command line
argument? Variable QT_QPA_PLATFORMTHEME works for me.
On HamPi, it exports QT_QPA_PLATFORMTHEME=cleanlooks

Hi Jeff,
OK, so we have to ask the package maintainers why they are forcing
the Qt fusion style, we have never recommend it unless there is a
specific problem with the native styling. Perhaps it was done to
work around a problem where the distro folks has messed around so
much with Qt that it no longer worked correctly for vanilla Qt GUI
applications. If so then they should be reassessing that and
removing the forced styling if it is no longer necessary.

The problem is you have Red Hat Enterprise, Oracle Enterprise,
Fedora, and CentOS pulling from the same repository with that
line as modified. So... for example: When a user has 2.2.2
installed from the repository, then builds the 2.3.0 RCx version
from scratch. They end up with two different looking windows,
with objects doing "strange" looking things. No doubt, here
comes yet another "bug" report. Not really a bug, but it looks
like one. That is the basis of my suggestion for continuity.
I have not noticed any performance implications, but then, my box
is built for the Enterprise.

Change line 5 FROM: Exec=wsjtx TO: Exec=wsjtx --style="fusion"
It took me a while to figure out why my local builds looked
different from those I found in the pre-built repositories. I
was waiting to mention this at the next RC cycle to make it
easy to correct. Changing this line will bring continuity
across all Linux platforms for look and feel.
Hi Jeff,
users are welcome to use the lowest common denominator Qt fusion
style for Qt applications, but doing so bypasses the use of many
built in graphics card drawn widgets. You should use the default
style unless there is a good reason not to. The fusion style is
meant to provide as similar look and feel across all platforms
but using it has performance implications.
