Bug#1064103: qt5-gtk-platformtheme: Qt and KDE applications look pretty bad on a Gnome desktop (even with qt5-gtk-platformtheme installed)



Package: qt5-gtk-platformtheme
Version: 5.15.10+dfsg-6
Severity: normal

Dear Maintainer,

the default experience of starting a Qt or KDE application in a Gnome desktop on
Debian is not great: the default widget style is very different from what one
sees in a KDE desktop (and it's not very pretty either), and the cursor is way
too big. I will attach a screenshot demonstrating the problem (if reportbug lets
me). This is despite installing qt5-gtk-platformtheme.

So far, I have managed to partially work around this:
- I have installed qt5ct
- I have edited my ~/.profile to set QT_QPA_PLATFORMTHEME=qt5ct
- I have selected the "Breeze" theme in qt5ct

This helps a lot, but few non-experts are going to be able to find these steps.

And even after all these steps, the cursor is still way too big when moving into Qt or KDE windows.
(I originally reported this as a KDE bug: https://bugs.kde.org/show_bug.cgi?id=480272,
but I was told that I should report this against the distro.)

Kind regards,
Ralf
