What are you doing now?

They would add to the flavour, but wouldn't solve the problem. I've spent ages prying apart and ripping to bits lumps of compressed unshredded tobacco leaf - it's scandalous, outrageous, and intolerable.

Oh well, I didn't figure I would get it the first time...

But, practice makes perfect!

I don't know if this would help, but:

EDIT: I wonder why some Qt applications don't use the default themes (Plastik for Qt3, Oxygen for Qt4), and instead look ugly like in this screenshot?

likely that you are missing some part of theme/cursor/icon of KDE

MTK358 · 04-08-2010, 04:29 PM

Such as what?

Because they're Qt apps, not KDE ones?

KDE depends on Qt, not the other way round ...

MTK358 · 04-08-2010, 05:01 PM

Maybe.

Almost all the other Qt apps I use come from KDE.

So how to make non-KDE Qt apps use the themes used by KDE apps?

Again: all KDE apps use Qt; that doesn't mean they're
Qt apps. They're Qt and then some. The and then
some is what gives them your desired look. "Normal"
Qt apps are KDE theme unaware.

By editing the source, and converting it into a
KDE application? Which won't do its portability
much good.

MTK358 · 04-08-2010, 05:07 PM

Isn't there some non-KDE way of setting the Qt theme?

I use many non-GNOME, non-XFCE, and non-LXDE GTK+ apps and all of them use the GTK theme that I choose with LXAppearance, gtk-chtheme, etc.

Tinkster · 04-08-2010, 05:10 PM

You can have a play with ~/.qt/qtrc, or set individual options
for Qt apps in the same directory, but I doubt (though I don't
know, haven't used Qt 4 for coding) there's any generic settings
for non-Qt supplied themes.

MTK358 · 04-08-2010, 05:12 PM

I'll read some about this later, because it really seems kinda stupid to make a GUI toolkit that cannot be themed.

You're not listening :}

It *can* be themed. It just knows nothing about
your KDE theme, or what config options THOSE themes
may have ...

(You could always search out my posts and thank 1 of 'em...)

I didn't say that!

What am I doing now?
Hmm...
Good question. I'll get back to you...
