MX Tools GUI

[fehlix]

Well I am trying to configure qt5 with the qt5 config tool. Digikam and Krita respond nicely but the MX tools and XnView don't.
If MX forces them to follow the gtk2 settings, this means that I will need to configure gtk2?

In addition to set the environment variable

Code: Select all

export QT_QPA_PLATFORMTHEME=qt5ct

you'd need to configure qt5ct for both, the normal and the root user, like this:
for normal user:
run this from the terminal command line

Code: Select all

env QT_QPA_PLATFORMTHEME=qt5ct qt5ct

for root user:

Code: Select all

su-to-root -X -c "env QT_QPA_PLATFORMTHEME=qt5ct qt5ct"

and choose style "gtk2" by changing style from "Fusion" to "gtk2"
Before:

After:

qt5ct_conifguration_tool_style_gtk2.png

I finally found out how it is with XnViewMP and font sizes:
XnViewPM actually uses qt5. But, if you want different fonts, you need to do this: delete the xnviewmp folder in /home/username/.config; set the font size with qt5ct; start XnViewMP.

Thanks for sharing the xnview theming solution!
