Hello, |
2 |
|
3 |
Recently I started developing on LXQT. As they are using Qt5 on their |
4 |
developing version I added Qt overlay and unmasked Qt5. |
5 |
|
6 |
I should add normally I am more the GTK applicatio user, running i3 as |
7 |
window manager. So Qt and its configuration are kind of new to me. |
8 |
|
9 |
Anyways, I got LXQT to run and started hacking. However I thought a IDE |
10 |
would be nice. So I installed Qtcreator. |
11 |
|
12 |
All applications so far (example: pcmanfm-qt using Qt5) are looking |
13 |
good. But Qtcreator looks awful: grey font on white background and |
14 |
whitefont on black background. I wondered why this was the case, and |
15 |
after checking with ldd I realized that Qtcreator uses Qt4. |
16 |
|
17 |
I tried to run qtconfig and choose a nice theme, as I was used to with |
18 |
lxappearance for GTK. |
19 |
However, no matter what I selected in "Select GUI style", the colors |
20 |
stayed ugly. I tried Cleanlooks, Qtcurve and others. Then I saw that I |
21 |
can manually change color palette. This is strange, on GTK themes come |
22 |
with nice colors without selecting them by hand. Am I doing something wrong? |
23 |
|
24 |
So I have several questions: |
25 |
1. How to configure Qt4 themes/colors the right way? |
26 |
2. Can I remove Qt4 totally and only use Qt5 for all applications? |
27 |
|
28 |
I am aware that Qt5 is not stable, but the mask says its more or less |
29 |
table but masked for doing more tests. |
30 |
|
31 |
Also I didn't see a USE flag for Qtcreator, no Qt4 no Qt5. |
32 |
|
33 |
3. For testing I wanted to add gtkstyle USE flag to qtgui, then realized |
34 |
that this doesn't exist anymore for Qt5. But Qtcreator seems to be |
35 |
compiled for Qt4, so how to set gtkstyle for it? |
36 |
|
37 |
4. Has Qt5 also the possibility to have gtkstyle? |
38 |
|
39 |
I am thankful for all info I can get, also background information for |
40 |
understanding everything totally, since this is the main goal of writing |
41 |
this mail. |
42 |
|
43 |
best regards, |
