Re: system-settings color change vs Qt (non-kde) apps

Does anyone have advice/insight on what we can do about it ? e.g.: - leave the situation as it is now ? (meaning that whenever you change color scheme you have to restart every Qt app you have, to get the right color changes, which I believe is unfortunate. - hack oxygen (in a way similar/better than the above, if possible) - leave that upstream to Qt (?) I'd say this should be added to kdebase/workspace/qguiplatformplugin_kde the platformplugin would work. another solution would be to call Q_GUI_EXPORT void qt_x11_apply_settings_in_all_apps(); from system-settings. (qtconfig does it)
