QT theming

Edit the "for qt5 apps" section of ~/.xsessionrc thus:
# for qt5 apps
#export QT_STYLE_OVERRIDE=GTK+
export QT_QPA_PLATFORMTHEME=gtk2

This works for the icons but not the theme, weirdly

Changing the theme (directly or with lxappearance) does not alter the application's appearance, even after a restart.

^Hmm that's strange, and disappointing. You are testing on Debian Stretch, right? No backported QT libraries?

In the interests of science I installed kwrite on my Helium test VM - it brought in a huge list of dependencies - and ran it. Apart from the same icon error messages you got, no issues, and the theming matched my GTK setting. Both gtk themes and icon themes could be changed on the fly with lxappearance, just like qupzilla and jeffed:

Is there something different in your environment? Here's my 'env':

Yes, it's a (relatively) fresh debootstrap+bunsen-netinstall Helium-dev system.

I must have molested it in some significant way, I will check out the `env` output and probably re-install anyway tonight.

Had time to check now and everything actually works, I have no idea what I was doing wrong before, sorry for the noise.

Mandatory scrot:

Very well done with this John, excellent work

Off topic: isn't kwrite lovely? Move to make it the default editor? 8o

Phew!

Haven't tried to do anything with it to be honest. What's it actually for?

^ steve, i followed the github instructions to build notepadqq on debian 9 if that helps. Doesnt follow the gtk theme though, it uses the default adwaita theme, roots theme? I will have to have a look at that Kvantum program, looks interesting, cheers.
Also notpadqq comes with a heap of different colour schemes, like over 20 or more.
https://github.com/notepadqq/notepadqq

Are you still using notepadqq? Or someone else maybe?

I'm just asking because I tried to compile it and it works, however I'm not sure why I'm missing some menus like the plugins menu...

brontosaurusrex · 2017-09-24 22:21:06

Kwrite does look awesome, font rendering is way better than say geany (And it actually understands I'd like light version of font), but lacks line-height setting and obviously tabs (No I don't want kate)
notepadqq is quite awesome, has tabs and has line-height settings and font rendering is great, but seems to be missing mini-map.

I could not find how to do the following with geany: Insert line numbers IN the code. There is an easy way to do it with notepadqq (but it did not work for me). Did not want to use Writer for this task. I still don't know what would be the best way to do this (in the end I just found on online tool...).

brontosaurusrex · 2017-09-25 00:03:29

There is 'nl' cli tool.

martix · 2017-09-25 00:20:47

^Thank you @brontosaurusrex, did not know about this tool. It's all about line numbers, just what I was looking for.
