Arch Linux User Repository

Some user guide:

My patchset contains multiple fixes/features in comparison to vanilla qt5ct:

1. KDE color schemes support
2. KDE QML applications theming support
3. KDE's icon engine is used, fixing monochrome icons colors (I saw problems with e.g. Adapta Kvantum theme on KDE applications toolbars, like dolphin, they're grey when should be white)

xdg-desktop-portal allows you to have KDE dialogs in non-KDE environment without installing plasma-integration package. To get them, all you need is:

1. Install xdg-desktop-portal + xdg-desktop-portal-kde
2. If you have xdg-desktop-portal-gtk installed, rename usr/share/xdg-desktop-portal/portals/gtk.portal to zz-gtk.portal (backend priority is in alphabetical order). You can add that file to NoExtract in pacman.conf.
3. Ensure that session dbus instance is running correctly.

How to ensure that session dbus instance is running correctly when using xinit (DMs should already do the right thing for you):

1. Ensure you don't have dbus-launch nor dbus-session-run in .xinitrc
2. Ensure you copied the for f in /etc/X11/xinit/xinitrc.d/?*.sh loop from /etc/X11/xinit/xinitrc to your .xinitrc
3. Ensure you have no errors in systemctl --user status dbus and the service is running. You shouldn't enable the service, it should be activated by dbus.socket.

In case of Wayland, you may need to integrate your WM with systemd (that's what one of the scripts in /etc/X11/xinit/xinitrc.d does for X11): https://github.com/swaywm/sway/wiki#gtk-applications-take-20-seconds-to-start

Yes, I did mean the Kirigami message. However, the messages don't appear when setting the two environment variables to Fusion when running Kirigami QtQuick applications. Moreover, some Kirigami applications segfaults directly (Kalendar & Audiotube from what I've tested) and cannot be launched.

What 'the error' is? The error string you previously posted refers to a bug in the KDE's Kirigami framework. I believe you can just ignore it as most errors from QtQuick applications.

Wait, the issue persists. I was trying the wrong thing.

When I execute when the theme is set to Fusion in qt5ct:

QT_QPA_PLATFORMTHEME=qt5ct QT_STYLE_OVERRIDE=qt5ct-style audiotube

the error exist.

However, when I execute the following:

QT_QPA_PLATFORMTHEME=Fustion QT_STYLE_OVERRIDE=Fusion audiotube

It executes normally

After some toggling, I noticed that it only occurs when using kvantum themes, so it's more related to kvantum. Sorry for any inconvenience.

Can you prove somehow that this is due to this package? The error doesn't sound related.

This package works like charm on some KDE QtQuick applications. However, most outputs file:///usr/lib/qt5/qml/org/kde/kirigami.2/styles/Plasma/Theme.qml:73: TypeError: Cannot read property 'Theme' of undefined and few even segfaults.

The single best package in the aur. Makes qt5ct actually work like it's supposed to

FWIW, here's the rebased patch onto 1.6:

Not out of date, package is the only proper working version of qt5ct

Would be nice to get stack trace
