Review request for KDE Software on Mac OS X, KDE Frameworks and KDevelop.


Changes
-------

no longer cancels setting a different style via the command line


Repository: kdevplatform


Description
-------

I filed a bug report recently that raises an issue about the QTabBar widget for 
the tabbed document interface  (https://bugs.kde.org/show_bug.cgi?id=363473). 
On OS X, that widget is rendered like the native tab bar widget that should 
only be used in dialogs and comparable views where the number of tabs is 
preferably fixed and limited. There are also other rendering issues which 
probably stem from presumptions KDevelop makes about the tab layout in the 
extensions it implements.
Qt does provide a `documentMode` which changes the look to suit use for 
document tabs better, but this mode doesn't work well with KDevelop's 
extensions either.

For lack of a better solution or workaround I would thus like to explore the 
idea to provide a widget style picker, like KDenlive does (presumably not 
without reason either). The underlying idea is that it allows users to find an 
style that works better for them if they feel a reason to do so. This option 
works regardless of whether a platform theme plugin is available.

For now the patch is a proof-of-concept and work in progress. It is still 
lacking a mechanism to make the style choice persistent across restarts; I 
think I'll need a hand in determining how to do that correctly (it should be a 
global setting, not a session-specific setting I think).
