Making QT apps fit with GTK
What do you guys do to make QT apps adhere to the theme set for GTK apps? I have installed Cantata for MPD and it looks pretty crap and I am not 100% sure what to do to make it fit.
Cheers

Re: Making QT apps fit with GTK
In ~/.xsessionrc:
export QT_STYLE_OVERRIDE=GTK+https://github.com/BunsenLabs/bunsen-co … ssionrc#L9
That file is run by display managers, if you use a console login then add it to ~/.profile instead.

Re: Making QT apps fit with GTK
Do any Debian Jessie packages use QT5?

Re: Making QT apps fit with GTK
thanks nobody for this extra info.
i was using the old method a la archwiki (see HoaS's post), which doesn't work anymore for qt5.
i will do as it says and see what happens then.
edit:
sorry if i'm confusing you with info from a non-debian system.

No, there is no qt5 in Debian jessie.
https://packages.debian.org/search?keyw … ection=all
I think @stevep may have some qt5 stuff in his OBS repository but TBH I think we're better off without it

Re: Making QT apps fit with GTK
Yes there is plenty, the naming scheme is different: https://packages.debian.org/search?keyw … ection=all.
Ah, interesting, thanks.
So can QT5 applications actually be run in jessie?
