Opaque menu border on Manjaro with XFCE #114

Closed skyblue002 closed 4 years ago

skyblue002 commented 4 years ago

This seems to be a problem similar to the one listed here: Opaque menu border in Neon with Qt 5.9 I'm running Manjaro Linux with XFCE, so the desktop environment isn't the same as listed in that previous issue. I also appear to have a newer version of Qt. The package qt5-base is version 5.13.0 on my machine.

Here is an image of the issue: Kvantum with border around menu

I tried fiddling with the properties in the Kvantum configuration utility, but nothing fixed this. I have compositing turned off for XFCE. Temporarily turning it back on did not fix the issue of the border around menus.

I have "kvantum-theme-arc 20180614-3" installed from the community repository.

If there's any further information you need, just let me know. I very much enjoy the Arc themes for Kvantum, with the exception of this issue and would love to be able to keep using them. :)

This version is for KDE only. You can install "arc-gtk-theme" for XFCE. Also you don't need to install kvantum, if you use this package.

The apps I encountered this issue with were designed for KDE and used Qt, but I was using them in another desktop environment. The apps did not use GTK, so I'm not sure why the arc-gtk-theme package would apply to them.

When I chose a GTK theme for my system, these apps for KDE which used Qt did not have their themes change accordingly unless there was a Qt version of the GTK theme. If I wanted a separate Qt theme for them, I would have to use a special Qt theme changer app.

The apps for KDE which used Qt did not theme in arc by simply installing the GTK themes.

I had assumed that this was the right place to report this issue. Was I mistaken? Since those apps don't use GTK, that other package couldn't be the issue. That package was also already installed on my system. The thick border was still a problem. I actually had to switch to another Qt theme just to get those KDE apps to display correctly. I couldn't use arc -- with or without this package.

This is still a problem, but I don't expect it to be taken care of at this point, so I switched to another theme for KDE (Qt) apps. The alternative, non-arc theme works fine, without the large borders.
