Bug 552598 – app-office/texmaker with QT5 can't set style in Modern Interface

• Status: RESOLVED FIXED
• Product: Gentoo Linux

[Description jorgicio 2015-06-20 00:04:47 UTC]

Hi!

Texmaker, with QT5 support, cannot allow to set the style. It always uses Fusion by default, so I'll attach a patch made by me that fixes that. I just tested it, and working.

Reproducible: Always

I would like to hear what upstream says.

As I see, it's a little bit abandoned, and a few projects still use the Google Code to file issues (which is not bad). Anyway, I reported there, but I don't know how long it takes to solve. I can't assure that.

Meanwhile, a patch is not bad.

Yes, I reported that issue, just in case only.

yes, I know. I just added the reference here.

How can I test the functionality of the patch?

After patch applied and compiled manually with the ebuild (and installed the respective package), just set the style as an environment variable, or run it from terminal with the style you want passed as a parameter.

e.g.

texmaker -style gtk

I cannot see anydifference. I tried gtk, qtcurve, orion and windows, but it looks all the same.

It depends on which DE are you using. Of course not if you use a QT5-based DE.

Also, since QT5, there are only 3 styles: gtk, fusion and windows.
There are my screenshots:

Although we normally try to not diverge from upstream I hope this one is for the good.
