Port themes to Kvantum

[ale-carra]

Porting the themes to Kvantum would allow Qt5 apps to look nice when the QtGtkStyle plugin gets inevitably dropped.

That sounds like it would mean writing the themes new from scratch for that engine.

Does anyone know of progress in a gtk3 theming engine for QT? If all themes have to be written new from scratch for QT, many gtk themes never will be as their developers don't have the time.

I have had good luck with qt5ct myself, though in some cases I have had to build the gtk2 plugin to use it with myself when Debian shipped an update without it.

There is no gtk3 theming engine for QT. Someone would have to write them from scratch using the gtk3 foreign drawing APIs. El lun., 4 nov. 2019 a las 21:39, lukefromdc (<[email protected]>) escribió:

Then most likely the gtk2 engine gets maintained by someone else if upstream drops it, as that is easier than a scratch rewrite of every theme for another theme engine. Even a gtk3 theming engine from scratch would likely be easier than porting every gtk3 theme that anyone is maintaining in any project to a new theme engine, as it has to be done only once. Anyway, I myself do not have the time for this major, major project right now. If someone else wants to, wonderful and I would be happy to test the results.
