As they are using Qt5 on their developing version I added Qt overlay and unmasked Qt5. I should add normally I am more the GTK applicatio user, running i3 as window manager. So Qt and its configuration are kind of new to me. Anyways, I got LXQT to run and started hacking. However I thought a IDE would be nice. So I installed Qtcreator. All applications so far (example: pcmanfm-qt using Qt5) are looking good. But Qtcreator looks awful: grey font on white background and whitefont on black background. I wondered why this was the case, and after checking with ldd I realized that Qtcreator uses Qt4. I tried to run qtconfig and choose a nice theme, as I was used to with lxappearance for GTK. However, no matter what I selected in "Select GUI style", the colors stayed ugly. I tried Cleanlooks, Qtcurve and others. Then I saw that I can manually change color palette. This is strange, on GTK themes come with nice colors without selecting them by hand. Am I doing something wrong? So I have several questions: 1. How to configure Qt4 themes/colors the right way? 2. Can I remove Qt4 totally and only use Qt5 for all applications? I am aware that Qt5 is not stable, but the mask says its more or less table but masked for doing more tests. Also I didn't see a USE flag for Qtcreator, no Qt4 no Qt5. 3. For testing I wanted to add gtkstyle USE flag to qtgui, then realized that this doesn't exist anymore for Qt5. But Qtcreator seems to be compiled for Qt4, so how to set gtkstyle for it? 4. Has Qt5 also the possibility to have gtkstyle? I am thankful for all info I can get, also background information for understanding everything totally, since this is the main goal of writing this mail. best regards, Michael
