[QtCurve] [Bug 353216] qtcurve-qt5 is missing the qtcurve window decoration in Plasma 5

(I would even say window decorator is simpler since there's a single program (kwin) that it interacts with.) However, I never claimed that I fully understand all the options in the widget style either. It's just that the qt4->qt5 transition has virtually no API change so the porting doesn't need any understanding. As I fixed a few bugs over the years I am getting a better understanding of it, but I won't even say I've touched/used more than 20% of it = = ... > Can you post on your GIT site that you're looking for help. Bye. The best reference is https://community.kde.org/Infrastructure/Git . It's the kde:qtcurve git repo (using the alias on that page) and that probably won't change. There seems to be quite a bit change on the infrastructure in the past few years (gitlab (invent.kde.org)?) so I honestly don't know what's the lastest way to access all the KDE git repos at this point, let along in another 2 years = = ...

Qt is not related to KWin window decorations. > Too bad KDE couldn't integrate qtcurve-qt5 into their code (just a thought). That wouldn't have helped. There are several other KWin 4 window decorations that were not ported to KWin 5 because of lack of man power. Anyway, let me add that Yichao's findings about the complexity of the QtCurve code are spot on. It requires a really patient/dedicated developer to read through it. -- You are receiving this mail because: You are watching all bug changes.

https://bugs.kde.org/show_bug.cgi?id=353216 --- Comment #37 from Roman Bysh --- Some times when I type out my comments they appear much too harsh than I intend them to be. This is something that I'm working on ;-). For this I apologize and would like to clear the slate on this topic. I know that you have spent a great deal of your personal time on this project including several other projects. I understand that this window decoration is more complex than the average widget. Too bad that Qt doesn't provide better examples for help. Any comments from the KDE people on their board? I wish you the best of luck in finding a coder with time on their hands to help you finish this great project. Too bad KDE couldn't integrate qtcurve-qt5 into their code (just a thought). I'll put the word out for people that have time to code using C++ with openSUSE. Can you post on your GIT site that you're looking for help.

https://bugs.kde.org/show_bug.cgi?id=353216 --- Comment #36 from Yichao Yu --- > I give up. There are a number of people that would have helped you when I > first mentioned this to you four years ago. It's a shame. I won't comment on > this anymore. Since you are making it sound like I intentionally did nothing and asked for no help I'll make it clear even though I think I'm not really obligated to give an explaination otherwise. First, there are times (ok, twice maybe) that I was offered help privately in terms of actually contributing code but then didn't hear back. I see this both as a missing opportunity to get it ported and a sign of maybe it is not as trivial as I thought it was. Secondly, I've also looked at the help in terms of documentation and the issue, as mentioned above, is that the complexity from the qtcurve side. I can see that if one know the qtcurve side of things well, the port shouldn't be very hard. (In case it is not clear, I did not write the qt4 version of the kwin theme.) It is trivial to use the template implementation to get something working while throwing away everything qtcurve currently have. The difficulty is in large part to figure out what the code in qtcurve is doing and I assume none of the help are in that area. Note that this is very different from the widget theme, where basically everything has a 1-1 mapping, the porting is much more mechanical and fixes afterwards can be done mostly incrementally. Now those are my accessments, most if not all of the conclusions are actually scattering among the few comments I've already made above. They may or may not be accurate but that's what I find and why I determined it is harder than I want to spend much time on any time soon. If any of the assumptions/findings I had above are not accurate making this easier than what I thought, I'm certainly open to constructive suggestions. > Do you want to close this bug report and mark it as WONTFIX? No, I've left this open as an acknowledgement that this is a nice to have feature. This can be close if it doesn't make sense to have, which is not the case. -- You are receiving this mail because: You are watching all bug changes.

https://bugs.kde.org/show_bug.cgi?id=353216 --- Comment #34 from Yichao Yu --- Err, assuming you are still talking about the kwin support (you changed how you talked about it so I assumed you were talking about something else), I've already mentioned above that I've given it my fair try and I don't think it's something that is possible to have a clear timeline for due to the complexity. It's a fairly low priority wishlist item.
