Styles Introducing QGtkStyle, Qt with Gtk looks.

[maniacmusician]

its at there subversion yet.

svn://labs.trolltech.com/svn/styles/gtkstyle

Yes, and I believe it's only usable with Qt4.4, which isn't available on Hardy. So, according to my understanding, it would only work with Qt applications using Qt4.4 or higher, and you would have to have Qt4.4 installed.

Correct me if I'm wrong.

It's good that this was provided as a plugin to Qt4.4, which means that it should work with all KDE4 apps. It will probably only be released as part of Qt when they release 4.5.

yes, this can only be compiled by users using

kubuntu 8.04 KDE 4 remix

As the author of QGtkStyle I'll be more than happy to correct you on that. Qt 4.4 is binary compatible with all previous Qt 4 versions so can use it with all the existing Qt 4 applications. Here is a screenshot showing the current last.fm client and skype running on ubuntu Hardy:

awesome! that's really good news. Thanks for taking the time to correct me on that. I've always wondered, how do you developers happen to find threads about your work in forums like this? I've seen many people just drop out of nowhere and post in a thread relevant to their work. Notified by a colleague or a friend? obsessive searches? how do you do it?

On a separate note, thanks for putting forward your best effort in terms of interoperability. Even as a mainly KDE user and sometimes Gnome user, I really appreciate it, and I hope more people follow suit (even if interoperability is only sought with self-interest in mind, it still ends up benefiting everyone).

great to have the developer participating with the discussion

Probably missing something here, but...

qgtkstyle.o: In function `prepare_window_widget()':
qgtkstyle.cpp:(.text+0x4102): undefined reference to `XSetErrorHandler'
qgtkstyle.cpp:(.text+0x4121): undefined reference to `XSetErrorHandler'
collect2: ld returned 1 exit status
make: *** [libgtkstyle.so] Error 1

I'd love to get it compiled so I can better make use of the various Qt apps I have.

Finally! Thanks for this little but very useful piece of code...

Anybody care to explain how i can compile/use this? There's no makefile/config script, and i've tried throwing g++ at the source all to no avail?

Cheers, Sanjay

Same question as Sanjay. I've managed to find a repo, and instal QT 4.4 but I'm way too noobish to figure out how to compile.

I can't wait to get a working version of this on my box. I'll surely switch to digikam, amarok and kmail. I may even try swapping nautilus/thunar with Dolphin.

You'll need libqt4-dev and (I presume) gtk dev headers, too.

Simply run

qmake qgtkstyle.pro

(ensuring that qmake is the *qt4* version of qmake) and then make and make install, as usual.

I'm hoping to get KDE4Daily 4.1 up and running this weekend - I'll ask Jens if he wants this included for testing or not.
