Some user guide:

My patchset contains multiple fixes/features in comparison to vanilla qt6ct:

  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)

It's important to set a KDE color scheme (marked as (KColorScheme) in the list) for proper theming of KDE apps.

Additionally, if one wants KDE dialogs, this could be reached either with plasma-integration or xdg-desktop-portal (both work with vanilla qt6ct, too).

To get them with plasma-integration:

  1. Install plasma-integration
  2. Choose KDE as standard dialogs in qt6ct configurator

To get them with xdg-desktop-portal-kde:

  1. Install xdg-desktop-portal + xdg-desktop-portal-kde
  2. Configure xdg-desktop-portal's FileChooser to kde, see https://wiki.archlinux.org/title/XDG_Desktop_Portal#Configuration
  3. Ensure that session dbus instance is running correctly
  4. Choose XDG Desktop Portal as standard dialogs in qt6ct configurator

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

@ilya-fadin that is exactly what's happening. I got a HDR monitor a while back and tried it on plasma 6.4, and didn't realize that 6.10 completely changed stuff. Sure enough, removing the kde-unstable repo and "rolling back" to stable, the package builds just fine. Thank you!

ilya-fedin commented on 2025-07-29 20:38 (UTC)

His Qt might be too new. 6.10 has changed the way private parts has to be requested but 6.10 isn't in stable repos nor qt6ct has adapted to it upstream.

FWIW, I think it's the time to rebase to the opencode upstream.

In response to @Zimmie: A long shot, but have you made sure that Qt6 has been updated before trying to install qt6ct? It sounds like it is referring to some libraries that don't exist (yet?).

Info on this page: https://doc.qt.io/qt-6/extras-changes-qt6.html#changes-to-qt-x11-extras ... may give some hints.

I have just downloaded this package and it built just fine, a couple of warnings, but no errors. My version of qt6 is 6.9.1-4. To check your version, run

pacman -Qi qt6-base

Zimmie commented on 2025-07-29 16:51 (UTC)

I can't get this to build, no matter what I try. Can anybody help? Here's the output:

@mortar1808

Thanks! That worked :-)

Seems like the latest update to qt6 broke the theming for me. Rebuilding the package fixes it.

The new MR URL is https://www.opencode.net/trialuser/qt6ct/-/merge_requests/9

ilya-fedin commented on 2025-03-05 14:49 (UTC)

New qt6ct upstream is found https://www.opencode.net/trialuser/qt6ct

ilya-fedin commented on 2025-03-04 14:26 (UTC)

So it seems the repo got archived not at author's will but due to sanctions. Arch maintainers don't seem to want to switch upstream. If anyone has account on sourceforge, asking author what's the new upstream URL might be the only way forward.

More info at https://gitlab.archlinux.org/archlinux/packaging/packages/qt6ct/-/issues/1

qt6ct got archived on github so I took the liberty to completely fork it. I released 0.10 on my repo, I wonder whether we can ask to switch official Arch package to it?

Indeed, it would be nice if this could replace current extra/qt6ct which still uses archived upstream project.

Thank you for your work!
