urfate / qadwaitaplatform Goto Github PK

I would really like to see a flatpak of this, so it works with flatpak applications as well

Hey, it's me, the Reddit guy. Since this theme 95% fixes inconsistency, with libadwaita apps, it should work with custom css themes for libadwaita too (let's say generated ones by gradience).

Feature request! Currently, the guide for compiling this library is rather small. It should be a good idea to add extra information such as which dependencies are required for successful compilation and add examples on how to compile it for both qt5 and qt6 so that it can be easier for others to get started trying it out.

Describe the bug
When running qBitTorrent on an Arch system with the AUR package qadwaitaplatform-git installed, nothing changes much compared to the regular version of QGnomePlatform.

To Reproduce
Steps to reproduce the behavior:

1. Install the AUR package qadwaitaplatform-git.
2. Launch qBittorrent in a terminal with the environment variable QT_QPA_PLATFORMTHEME=gnome set (or e.g. configured user-wide using environment.d)
3. Observe most buttons still and other UI elements still looking like old GTK3.

Expected behavior
QAdwaitaPlatform transforming qBitTorrent to a nice and clean looking adwaita themed app.

I don't know if it's at all possible to do cleanly, but it would make the apps look more Gnomish if the titlebars weren't empty. One obvious solution would be to shove the menubar in the titlebar. There was an attempt to pull this off https://sourceforge.net/projects/styleproject/.

BTW, a few KDE applications are moving to hamburger menus, so if one could somehow shove the window controls in the toolbar, that would bring these apps even closer to gnome.

If one were to implement this, one would also need to implement the drag from non-empty behavior of gnome headerbars. Kvantum can do this.
