[solved] qtconfig doesn't affect QtCreator, after switching to qt5

zoorg · 2013-03-03 15:34:49

After recent update, when qt4 switched to qt5, my QtCreator dropped qtconfig theme.
Switching theme under root, in qtconfig-qt4 and wiping QtCreator configs did nothing.
Every other qt apps works fine.

Does anybody have any ideas, how it could be fixed?

Screenshots:
how QtCreator looks now:

how it must look:

theme switching do nothing:

upd: problem gone with latest update

Unfortunately there's no fontconfig and gtk2 support in the current qt5 package. I'll push a new one soon.

I'm having this same problem, and I don't know how to solve it.

qtconfig doesn't affect the look of qtcreator or any other QT5 apps. How do I set the QT5 theme to, say, Cleanlooks?

having exactly same problem as karabaja4, and as far as I know this wasn't solved yet

Same problem after updating to QT5.0.2 today. Any known fix?

I had an appearance problem with qpdfview which is an qt5 appli in AUR, and I solved it launching the appli like that :

qpdfview -style gtk

Then qt5 uses the actual gtk2 theme, which for me is qtcurve, declared in the $HOME/.gtkrc-2.0 .
I have also custom colors defined in a $HOME/.gtkrc.mine file included in .gtkrc-2.0 .

Using `-style gtk` fixes the issue, many many thanks!
Is there a way to make it the default option without defining an alias?

Qt, starting with 5.2 falls back to a generic style instead of the gtk style when it detects an unkown desktop environment.
See this commit: https://github.com/qtproject/qtbase/com … d5ce1e0269

You can set the QT_STYLE_OVERRIDE environment variable to force a specific style. (e.g. QT_STYLE_OVERRIDE=gtk)
You can put 'export QT_STYLE_OVERRIDE=gtk' into your .bashrc or some other place to force the gtk style.
