Bug#894807: qtbase-opensource-src: Consider recommending qt5ct perhaps in widgets or gui
Source: qtbase-opensource-src
Version: 5.9.2+dfsg-12
Severity: wishlist
[08:50:25] <maxy> lisandro, mitya57: yet again about PLATFORMTHEMES, currently nothing depends on qt5-gtk-platformtheme qt5-style-plugins nor qt5ct, I don't know what qt5 uses when QT_PLATFORMTHEME is not being set, but it seems reasonable that at least that package gets installed when installing a qt app.
[08:51:22] <lisandro> let me see if I understand that
[08:52:02] <lisandro> when there is no QT_PLATFORMTHEME set then qt shows a default theme, which I *think* it's the windows' one
[08:52:52] <lisandro> if the user wants a different theme then she must install a new theme or qt5ct in order to easily change the ones shipped by qt
[08:53:52] <lisandro> we could recommend qt5ct with libqt5widgets5 I guess
[08:55:40] <maxy> That would be fine by me, and qt5ct sets QT_PLATFORMTHEME in the session if installed. (that would also avoid desktop environments to have to set QT_PLATFORMTHEME)
[08:56:52] <lisandro> so far it sets it everywhere except Plasma
[08:56:58] <maxy> At least on the cinnamon side of things we are setting QT_PLATFORMTHEME=gtk2 as it was the only sensible plaformtheme for stretch, but that's no longer true.
It could be recommends or suggests, thoughts welcomed!
