From 14fdd717657535caddff819b1f03c200d07ec57d Mon Sep 17 00:00:00 2001 From: Simon Lees Date: Mon, 28 Dec 2015 11:47:49 -0500 Subject: [PATCH] Set QT_QPA_PLATFORM theme to gtk2 Summary: @fix the display / customisation of KDE5 apps. KDE5 applications don't understand anything other then gnome or kde They expect everyone else to set QT_QPA_PLATFORMTHEME to tell them how to theme there apps otherwise they use a fallback mode which results in missing icons and a inability to change the appearance of applications see https://bugzilla.suse.com/show_bug.cgi?id=920792 for more info. There are two sensible defaults for this variable, "kde" which will make apps appear the same as they do if they are run in kde. and gtk2 which will make kde applications follow the gtk/gnome theme, we have decided on choosing gtk2 as it means that kde/qt apps will follow the app and icon theme set in the enlightenment settings dialog. Some users who wish to use Qt apps without any gnome or gtk usage may choose to install qt5ct and overwrite this variable with qt5ct and use that to configure there Qt5 applications.
