| =Introduction=
| |
|
| |
|
| For those of us that use [https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/GTK%2B#Desktop_environments Desktop Environments] &/or [https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/GTK%2B#Window_managers Window Managers] that use GTK+ , this fix is particularly helpful.
| | =Overview= |
|
| |
|
| For those such as myself that run 1080p or higher screen resolutions on largish monitors it can be quite a strain on the eyes when you can't control the size of the fonts that an application uses.
| | When using a [[Desktop_Environments|Desktop Environment]] or Window Manager that doesn't allow for the settings of QT themes, you can set QT to use your GTK themes instead. |
|
| |
|
| This fix makes your Qt app's use your GTK+ theme (colours & such) & your chosen font settings.

| | =Using qt5ct= |
|
| |
|
| =How do you do it?=
| | {{note|In some Manjaro editions, this is already done for you by default}} |
|
| |
|
| 1) Install '''qt5ct'''
| |
|
| |
|
| 2) Set environment variables in '''/etc/profile''' and add the following lines:
| | Install {{ic|qt5ct}} using your favorite package manager or the command: |
| | pamac install qt5ct |
|
| |
|
| '''export QT_QPA_PLATFORMTHEME="qt5ct"'''
| |
|
| |
|
| '''export QT_AUTO_SCREEN_SCALE_FACTOR=0'''
| | Set environment variables in {{ic|~/.profile}} by adding or updating the following lines: |
| | export QT_QPA_PLATFORMTHEME="qt5ct" |
|
| |
|
| 3) source the file by using: <code>source /etc/profile</code>
| |
|
| |
|
| 4) Start '''qt5ct'''
| | Run the application '''QT5 Configuration Manager''' from the menu or run the command {{ic|qt5ct}}. |
|
| |
|
| 5) In the first tab '''Appearance''' choose '''Standard Dialogs: default''' (some people get crashes if they choose GTK3)
| |
|
| |
|
| Because we used /etc/profile to set the environment variables back in step 2), after you reboot, both the user & root accounts will be able to benefit from these changes.
| | Logout and login again to make the change effective |
|
| |
|
| (If you find that certain widget styles are missing, you can see if qt5-styleplugins brings a fix for you.)
