qtconfig and QtCurve

Hi,

In KDE I've got the following list of available GUI styles:

qtconfig->Appearance->Select GUI Style:

Desktop Settings (Default)
CDE
Cleanlooks
GTK+
Motif
Oxygen
Phase
Plastique
QtCurve
Windows

For some reason, in LXDE the list gets shortened:

qtconfig->Appearance->Select GUI Style:

Desktop Settings (Default)
CDE
Cleanlooks
GTK+
Motif
Plastique
Windows

I'd expect QtCurve to be available regardless of the DE, shouldn't I?

$ yaourt -Ss qtcurve
extra/qtcurve-gtk2 1.8.9-1 (qtcurve) [installed]
    A configurable set of widget styles for KDE and Gtk
extra/qtcurve-kde3 1.8.5-1 (qtcurve)
    A configurable set of widget styles for KDE and Gtk
extra/qtcurve-kde4 1.8.8-1 (qtcurve) [installed]
    A configurable set of widget styles for KDE and Gtk

Re: qtconfig and QtCurve

Set QtCurve as your GTK theme (using lxappearance or similar) then set your Qt theme to GTK+ (qtconfig).

Set QtCurve as your GTK theme (using lxappearance or similar) then set your Qt theme to GTK+ (qtconfig).

This setup is exactly what I've been forced to use . I'm not quite happy with it, though. Are you? It looks almost, but not quite right (with Qt apps), doesn't it? I vaguely remember the time when my Qt/QtCurve apps looked exactly the same with KDE and LXDE alike, and quite right, too. Unfortunately, the secret's been lost...

Re: qtconfig and QtCurve

It should work if you set the Qt theme in KDE. But otherwise you can try qtcurve-qt4 from AUR.
