QGnomePlatform

QGnomePlatform project is unmaintained a no longer actively developed.

QGnomePlatform is a Qt Platform Theme designed to use as many of the GNOME settings as possible in unmodified Qt applications. It allows Qt applications to fit into the environment as well as possible.

How to compile

This library uses private Qt headers and will likely not be forward nor backward compatible. This library will have to be recompiled with every Qt update.

mkdir build
cd build
cmake [OPTIONS] [-DUSE_QT6=true] ..
make && make install

Usage

This library is used automatically in Gtk based desktops such as Gnome, Cinnamon or Xfce.

This platform theme can also be used by setting the QT_QPA_PLATFORMTHEME environment variable to "gnome". For example, put the following command in .bashrc:

export QT_QPA_PLATFORMTHEME='gnome'
