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
