| Barry[m] | hello room. after fighting with desktop themes and qt applications, [this article](https://wiki.archlinux.org/index.php/Uniform_look_for_Qt_and_GTK_applications#Using_a_GTK_icon_theme_in_Qt_apps) suggests that for gtk/qt compatibility the `DESKTOP_SESSION` env var should be set to `gnome`... | 17:58 |
|---|---|---|
| Barry[m] | in U.S., it is set to `ubuntustudio` which I'm thinking could be throwing off qt. thoughts ??? | 17:58 |
| OvenWerks | The new gnome way of doing things makes using lots of windows a pain. | 18:33 |
| OvenWerks | Gnome tends to steal the top bar and force it's own theme on users if they want it or not | 18:34 |
| OvenWerks | One of the worst things this does, is make it quite hard to visually see which window has focus | 18:34 |
| OvenWerks | QT/xfce styles of doing tings retains the title bar decoration and allows a user to make the focused window have a contrasting colour. Gnome does not. | 18:36 |
| Eickmeyer[m] | !support | freenode_bjmuld[m] | 18:44 |
| ubottu | freenode_bjmuld[m]: This is the Ubuntu Studio development channel. Our official support channel is on #ubuntustudio. Also see http://ubuntuforums.org/forumdisplay.php?f=335 | 18:44 |
| Barry[m] | yes, yes, I know | 18:44 |
| Barry[m] | but I don't need support, per se | 18:44 |
| Eickmeyer[m] | Then what are you trying to accomplish? This issue is not present in 19.10 and we can't backport anything like that to 18.04 without causing errors. | 18:45 |
| Eickmeyer[m] | 19.10 includes qt5ct by default. | 18:45 |
| Barry[m] | just wanted to ask the devs about whether introducing a new DESKTOP_SESSION could confuse downstream users of that var | 18:45 |
| Barry[m] | won't downstream apps inherit icons and themes based on this var? | 18:46 |
| Eickmeyer[m] | freenode_bjmuld[m]: All of the devs are in #ubuntustudio-support. That's why it exists. This is for development collaboration only. | 18:46 |
| Barry[m] | 10-5 | 18:46 |
| Barry[m] | lol | 18:46 |
| Eickmeyer[m] | freenode_bjmuld[m]: That's not how that works. And downstream? We don't have downstream. | 18:46 |
| Barry[m] | 10-4! | 18:46 |
| Eickmeyer[m] | Er... #ubuntustudio. | 18:47 |
| Eickmeyer[m] | Not #ubuntustudio-support. | 18:47 |
| Eickmeyer[m] | Or if you want to use Matrix, https://matrix.to/#/!xmgKQfBvHjTMsDGIBb:matrix.org?via=matrix.org&via=riotchat.de | 18:47 |
| Barry[m] | yes yes... I don't mean "downstream" as in source code, but rather applications running in userland which read that var | 18:48 |
| Eickmeyer[m] | freenode_bjmuld[m]: You're the first person to report qt issues. We've already solved the problem. The ubuntustudio variable doesn't affect it. | 18:48 |
| Eickmeyer[m] | Because XDG sees xfce, not the DESKTOP_SESSION variable. | 18:48 |
