| neopsyche | hi all. anyone please help.. I am in GUI purgatory.. cant seem to configure qt to use settings for darktheme gtk | 08:44 |
|---|---|---|
| neopsyche | qt5ct not opening / working | 08:45 |
| neopsyche | The QT_QPA_PLATFORMTHEME environment variable is not set correctly | 08:45 |
| neopsyche | Anyone? | 08:46 |
| neopsyche | mate does not appear to use standard .profile folder .. instead there is .profile.d | 08:46 |
| neopsyche | https://fosspost.org/opinions/are-gtk-developers-destroying-linux-desktop-with-their-plans | 08:51 |
| m4t | neopsyche: uhm one sec. i have a setting that i toggled... | 08:54 |
| neopsyche | ? | 08:54 |
| neopsyche | ok | 08:54 |
| neopsyche | qt5ct does not open throws error .. as mentioned above | 08:56 |
| neopsyche | hmm now all of a sudden opening | 08:56 |
| neopsyche | did you throw a switch on my pc? | 08:56 |
| m4t | yes | 08:57 |
| m4t | that will be 10$ in btc | 08:57 |
| neopsyche | wtf | 08:57 |
| neopsyche | lol | 08:57 |
| m4t | nah i was testing to see which one did it | 08:57 |
| m4t | adding 'QT_STYLE_OVERRIDE=gtk2' to environment did it for me | 08:57 |
| neopsyche | oh | 08:57 |
| m4t | eg 'export QT_STYLE_OVERRIDE=gtk2' >> ~/.bashrc | 08:57 |
| neopsyche | yeah.. I am freaked out about commands. somewhat intermediate.. and commands echo can mess things up I think . | 08:58 |
| m4t | what app is it and how are you launching it? | 08:58 |
| neopsyche | calibre | 08:58 |
| neopsyche | (and 4k downloader is white.. no matter what) | 08:59 |
| neopsyche | strangely.. kolourpaint4 works just fine.. kde app | 08:59 |
| neopsyche | trying to make all dark theme | 08:59 |
| m4t | hmm | 09:00 |
| neopsyche | calibre supposed to be export CALIBRE_USE_SYSTEM_THEME=1 in bashrc | 09:00 |
| neopsyche | (no idea where bashrc is or how to 'export' to it) | 09:00 |
| m4t | yeah, calibre doesn't pick up my system theme either.. | 09:00 |
| neopsyche | its retarded. | 09:00 |
| m4t | how are you launching calibre? | 09:00 |
| m4t | through the menu? | 09:00 |
| neopsyche | yeah | 09:00 |
| neopsyche | sudo launch gives QStandardPaths: XDG_RUNTIME_DIR not set, defaulting to '/tmp/runtime-root'QStandardPaths: XDG_RUNTIME_DIR not set, defaulting to '/tmp/runtime-root'libpng warning: iCCP: known incorrect sRGB profilelibpng warning: iCCP: known incorrect sRGB profile | 09:01 |
| neopsyche | standard (non root sudo) gives libpng warning: iCCP: known incorrect sRGB profilelibpng warning: iCCP: known incorrect sRGB profile | 09:02 |
| m4t | you could edit the menu item for it and prepend 'calibre %F' with 'CALIBRE_USE_SYSTEM_THEME=1 %F' | 09:02 |
| m4t | erm wait a sec... | 09:02 |
| m4t | swapping it out for: /bin/sh -c 'CALIBRE_USE_SYSTEM_THEME=1 calibre %F' | 09:04 |
| m4t | worked for me | 09:04 |
| m4t | https://pasteboard.co/HzzbBbD.png | 09:05 |
| m4t | i use mozo rather than whichever new one i think they switched to | 09:05 |
| neopsyche | aaaah! Finally.. qt-settings (does not open on mate) qt5ct from command line works.. then save theme dark default.. then apply then launch calibre editing menu .desktop with variable... calibre CALIBRE_USE_SYSTEM_THEME=1qt5ct: using qt5ct pluginqt5ct: D-Bus global menu: nolibpng warning: iCCP: known incorrect sRGB profilelibpng warning: iCCP: know | 09:06 |
| neopsyche | n incorrect sRGB profileqt5ct: D-Bus system tray: yes | 09:06 |
| neopsyche | :-D | 09:06 |
| m4t | 'menulibre' is what they switched to i think | 09:06 |
| neopsyche | what a workaround workout lol! | 09:06 |
| neopsyche | NB: may need logout first | 09:06 |
| neopsyche | (sorry last part of paste was wrong) | 09:07 |
| neopsyche | was supposed to say:.. aaaah! Finally.. qt-settings (does not open on mate) qt5ct from command line works.. then save theme dark default.. then apply then launch calibre editing menu .desktop with variable... calibre CALIBRE_USE_SYSTEM_THEME=1 (only) | 09:07 |
| neopsyche | not sure how to 'default flag' this | 09:08 |
| m4t | you can just do what i suggested | 09:10 |
| m4t | idk what qt5ct does | 09:10 |
| neopsyche | weird.. this seems to be intermittant | 09:10 |
| neopsyche | looks like I needed to login/out | 09:16 |
| neopsyche | now.. to fix ACPI issues (facepalm) | 09:18 |
| neopsyche | thanks for the help all | 09:20 |
