Please clarify documentation on Qt vs. KDE and Gtk+ vs. GNOME #101

Closed probonopd closed 6 years ago

probonopd commented 6 years ago

The documentation seems to mix Qt with KDE and Gtk+ with GNOME.

What I am looking for is the best way to make all Qt applications (including, but not limited to, KDE ones) look native on Gtk+ systems (including, but not limited to, GNOME ones).

Is this project suitable to achieving this?

I don't see KDE mentioned in the documentation. The purpose of adwaita-qt is to make all Qt apps (including KDE apps as those use Qt as well) to fit into Gnome Shell, means they are supposed to look they are written in GTK+ with Adwaita style. The primary target is Gnome Shell, but if you use any other DE with Adwaita style, it will have same effect.

To make your Qt app to use this style, you have to use "-style adwaita" parameter, or alternatively use QGnomePlatform plugin, which will be used automatically on Gtk based DEs and force to use adwaita-qt in that case when available.

Thanks for the clarification @grulja.

I don't see KDE mentioned in the documentation.

Indeed, I was tricked by the "About KDE" dialog box.
