But of course a Qt widget style is an huge undertaking that will take a lot to do. Now, Oxygen is the sum of years of experience and fixes, (and also does a ton of things to make application behave well that are beside just "painting", not to mention the companion themes that integrate nicely gtk 2 and 3 apps) and would really be a shame to lose all those years of development and experience, so I was wondering how hard would be to adapt the Oxygen codebase to a new visual style (would be a new style, or perhaps hopefully something sharing a lot of code) in the link above, there is a screenshot of an attemptIi made to quick and dirty try to adapt some of the elements (is incomplete and only partial, but promising, seems that changing rounded radiuses and removing some gradients here and there gets pretty close) Hugo, do you think it would be a feasible thing? And would you be interested in it? (I was thinking about something like maintaining most of the style, and set apart an oxygenhelper(as is now) vs breezehelper for the different visual related things) Cheers, Marco Martin
