Dark mode ? #490

Open Cipher66hz opened 1 month ago

Cipher66hz commented 1 month ago

Operating System:Linux Mint 21.3 x86_64 CEmu version: … Precompiled CEmu_nightly_linux64_qt6_static Describe your issue:
When building from source in QT-Creator the application launched in a dark-mode type setting, however in the binary release this isn't applicable. Im not familiar with QT-Creator, so I wasnt sure how to compile from source and make one individual executable file. (I also wasnt able to find information online about doing this). Please pardon me being a bit of a newbie with regards to QT-Application development lol … (including, if applicable what you expect vs. what happens)

TLDR: How can I enable a dark mode in the binary executable. Having issues compiling from source and having it as its own standalone program (like the CEmu_nightly_qt6_static version).

What are the steps to reproduce this issue?

  1. Download static_nightly release from https://github.com/CE-Programming/CEmu/releases/tag/nightly
  2. Run it, no dark mode?

Any logs, error output, screenshot, other comments...?

N/A

Thank you for your patience :)

There's nothing to change on the code side, this is rather a platform / qt theming issue. You may try launching the binary with these env vars to see if it's better, but other than that, I'm not sure...

QT_STYLE_OVERRIDE=Adwaita-Dark QT_STYLE_OVERRIDE=Kvantum (see install readme here)

As for static binaries, this requires more effort (you first have to get (build, likely) your own static Qt SDK. but the way we set things up with cmake+vcpkg, it is pretty much automatic when you choose the appropriate preset. This will be explained in more details once we write the doc...

Hmm. I already have Kvantum & QT5 Config settings configured. I put QT_STYLE_OVERRIDE=Adwaita-Dark in my .desktop file for launching CEmu, but that made no difference.

Its no big deal though! Just maybe something to consider adding in future, user input-able theming / color schemes. I'll rock it white for now :D

Thanks again for your help !

I don't know if that works. From the terminal what happens when you launch the binary with the env var exported before though?

Yeah tried using both (just for redundancy), still white :/

As I said, no biggie , so if you've got no ideas s'all good

Update, realized I had to pass it through on the same line.

Only Windows and Fusion are the available styles (and they work) , despite the fact that I have quite a few QT themes installed on my system. It must be referencing another directory to source the themes.

Again, thank you for your patience.
