Some Qt applications (Qt Creator for example) look bad in my KDE 4.10.2 (KDE3 style perhaps) and the open file/folder dialog ignores completely the doble-click-to-open rule which works perfectly fine in Dolphin and other KDE apps. Any ideas what could it be?

PS: This is on a fresh installed Arch x64

might because it is a QT not a KDE app, there is a qtconfig app that might help (no idea)

I already tried qtconfig (and qtconfig-qt4) but it doesn't offer anything for the style per-se nor the one-click/double-click problem.

I'm not sure you can get pure Qt applications to do single-click -- I think not.
But for the style, you can definitely change that in qtconfig, in the "Appearance" tab.

Ok, I'll have a look again for the appearance thing. About the click, the thing is that right now Qt applications open files/folders with 1 click, and I want to change it to 2 clicks!

Note that dolphin, plasma and all KDE/GTK applications do open files/folders with 2 clicks (as I set that in SystemSettings -> Input devices -> Mouse -> Double click to open). Any idea what could be making Qt apps open things with a single click?

I just checked qtconfig and I'm already using Oxygen in the "Style" option, but I'm getting some other appearence. I even made a screenshot: http://imagebin.org/255349

that's not an appearance issue that's the open file dialog being used and it looks like it's using the QT one (it being a QT app), not the KDE one which is what is to be expected, Gnome apps do the same

there is a hack you can try http://www.kde-apps.org/content/show.php?content=36077, the Arch website says it works on qt only apps also but no mention of that on kde-apps.org https://aur.archlinux.org/packages/kgtk/,

It's just that it's not only the "Choose file/folder" dialog, but also menus, dialogs, buttons, and everything in general.

I have no experience with qt only apps, but it seems to me as they're not KDE apps you shouldn't expect them to look, act and feel the same as if they were not written to adhere to KDE design standards.

Well, the thing is that Qt Creator (and Qt dev tools in general) always looked good, so there's something that's going on here. Also, not having KDE's look doesn't explain why the dialog looks like KDE3 while I have "oxygen" as the default style in qtconfig.

probably my last post here, cause I don't have any relevant knowledge

Does it look better for a newly created user?

Did this change of appearance happen after the upgrade to 4.10?

This is a fresh install, so I'm already using a fresh user in a fresh environment. Everything was working fine before I re-installed my Arch and KDE was at the same version, so this is actually weird.

Oh, I just noticed, actually the weird look (Plastik I'd say) shows up only on Qt5 applications. Maybe this will help to track down the problem?

Ok, I found the reason why it's acting like that: http://stackoverflow.com/questions/1488 ... r-qt-5-app

It turns out that "it's not a bug, it's a feature" (tm). I guess I'll have to wait for KDE5 (haaaaaaaaa, long wait)

so you're using qt5? if you have other issues you will need to make note of that in your posts

can you mark this as solved
