I doubt Microsoft and Apple are providing QPT so that can't be the full story. But also, Qt can't just declare that someone else must do some work. That's not how open-source works. > Clearly GNOME people do not have the interest, skill, and/or time to get it > done. That's fine; I can't blame them. So the task basically falls to distro > maintainers. No, I can't agree with that. Distro maintainers do integration, yes, by gluing together what exists and then testing that it all works together. It is not their task to *write entirely new UI themes* for a toolkit that unilaterally decided that it wants to out-source this work. If Qt wants to look and feel native wherever possible, that's great. But that should come *on top of* providing a good baseline that works everywhere that Qt hasn't yet gained native support for. I don't expect Qt applications in GNOME to be perfectly polished and integrated without help from the GNOME people. But I do expect them to meet a reasonable baseline, and it is Qt's responsibility to deliver that baseline. -- You are receiving this mail because: You are watching all bug changes.
