[Solved] QT5CT doesn't work (set default Qt toolkit)

quellen · 2016-10-07 10:28:23

hi,
i want to set the default Qt toolkit on my system:
https://wiki.archlinux.org/index.php/qt … Qt_toolkit

but qtchooser is no longer available, why?

i tried qt5ct but it doesn't work, it says:
"THE QT_QPA_PLATFORMTHEME enviomnt avriable is not set correctly."

$ qt5ct 
Configuration path: /home/pippo/.config/qt5ct/
Shared QSS path: /usr/share/qt5ct/qss/

i use openbox

I have this environment variable set and it works.

export QT_QPA_PLATFORMTHEME=qt5ct

You are mistaking Qt toolkit, Qt Platform Theme and Qt Theme. What you want to do is change the Qt Theme, I presume, no the Qt Toolkit (which is not supported anymore).

Yes, and after that re-login.

ok, i run it with:

QT_QPA_PLATFORMTHEME="qt5ct" qt5ct

i tried to change the colors but in qt applications there is still default color theme (gray), why?

Pallete -> choose 'custom' -> click '...' -> +create -> click '...' -> Edit -> set the colors

That should do it, I think. ;-)

You need to set that environment variable for all Qt programs, not just qt5ct.

quellen · 2016-10-07 17:26:56

i do it. the icon theme and fonts works, but colors no:

$ QT_QPA_PLATFORMTHEME="qt5ct" sigil
Debug: using qt5ct plugin
Debug: D-Bus system tray: no
Debug: palette support is disabled

What "Style" is selected, QtCurve, Fusion, Windows…?

quellen · 2016-10-07 18:42:23

Windows. i have tried to set FUSION but nothing changes. it doesn't take my colors.

Instead of issuing QT_QPA_PLATFORMTHEME="qt5ct" sigil, have you tried to put

export QT_QPA_PLATFORMTHEME=qt5ct

in .bashrc or whatever and re-login and launch qt5 apps as usual?

quellen · 2016-10-07 18:56:17

i have tried now: nothing changes: sigil takes only icon theme and fonts, the colors are still gray.

What about other qt5 apps?

ED: Sorry, qt5ct itself seems to fail as well?

What qt5 packages have you got?

ED: Well, not sorry! qt5ct seems to work. So obviously sigil has hardcoded colours.

i have tried MINITUBE. it works, it takes my color theme!

$ minitube
qt5ct: using qt5ct plugin
qt5ct: custom style sheet is disabled

than it's a sigil problem?
