Public bug reported:
I've recently installed Virtualbox, the Ubuntu Feisty package on Ubuntu
Gutsy (amd64, tribe 5), since there's no newer release. Everything works
fine, except for the part that the Qt looks ugly.
I tried to change the files, but the qtconfig-qt3 wouldn't save them,
complaining:
QSettings::sync: filename is null/empty
I've then checked the ~/.qt directory in the home, and its owner was root:root,
hence it doesn't allow the user to save their settings in ~/.qt/qtrc
A quick fix would be:
sudo apt-get install qtconfig-qt3
sudo chown -R `whoami`:`whoami` ~/.qt
qtconfig-qt3
I'm also providing a nice "theme", you just have to save it as ~/.qt/qtrc like
so:
sudo apt-get install qtconfig-qt3
sudo chown -R `whoami`:`whoami` ~/.qt
gedit ~/.qt/qtrc
and then paste the following and do qtconfig-qt3 when you're done
