Pretty low risk for CMake given the GUI for it isn't that well-used anyway AFAIK.

Can we, please, begin to shift preferences after Plasma 6 is out? The application displays a lot of texts, and that is exactly its purpose. Reading texts rendered by Qt6 in the current Plasma 5 environment is accompanied by eye strain.
(In reply to Eugene Shalygin from comment #3) (replying in inverted order) > The application displays a lot of texts, and that is exactly its purpose. Sure, I've not disputed that. I guess your point is that the following part is unavoidable: > Reading texts rendered by Qt6 in the current Plasma 5 environment is > accompanied by eye strain. > Can we, please, begin to shift preferences after Plasma 6 is out? Sure, I didn't realise there was any difference in rendering / that it was jarring between Plasma and CMake. I don't use the GUI for CMake so I'm happy to defer, even if I wish we could default to Qt 6 for it. But be prepared for other things to do it as time goes on anyway.

Still make Qt 6 available w/ USE=qt6 though. Revisit when Plasma 6 is out to avoid the referenced jarring issue wrt text rendering.

... or, I suppose I didn't really need to do that, given USE=qt6 never meant "pick me as a GUI" (we have USE=gui now), but whatever.
