QT adwaita integration
Good evening.
First I would like to thank you all for the incredible work you're doing
making your OS available to the world. It can become quite a workhorse
on smallish computers like mine which wouldn't accept Windows 10
without, well...choking on it. That's why I did a donation and I plan to
do more in order to help you out.
Hwever, there's an issue that just drives me mad, and it doesn't come
from you, it cme from QT 5.7's developers. Who in the h*ll decided to
ditch GTK integration? As an XFCE users, it makes my QT apps (VLC,
*cough cough* QBittorrent) feel out-of-place on the desktop.
As I use Adwaita-Dark, they stick out grey and windows-98-ish like an
eyesore.
I've done a workaround, installed adwaita-QT in its QT4 and QT5
flavours, did some help but.... found a workaround building ON THE
WORKAROUND!
Adwaita-QT and Adwaita-QT4 come in 0.5.2 version on DEbian 9. Through
trial and error, I found that using the 1.0.1 version from testing (ie
drop it in place with gdebi) does wonders. It works straight out of the
box, I've done a lot of testing (ie day-to-day watching and downloading
of my share of Ted talks and listening to my music), works like magic
and supports adwaita-dark now, so the whole desktop look is back to
coherence.
In my humble opinion, aqwaita-qt and adwaita-qt4 from testing are ready
for prime-time, and can be slammed into stretch-backports (as not
automatic, so people won't screw up something untested unless by
explicitly asking).
