Windows look strange (Jessie vs Stretch)
Re: Windows look strange (Jessie vs Stretch)
What is controlling the look of the menu tabs in the screenshots above? In Jessie the top corners of the menus are rounded, in Stretch they are rectangular, at least for some applications.mrspuck wrote:Actually I was missing the font config, so now the comparison looks like this:
Stretch: https://ibb.co/hA8O2m
Jessie: https://ibb.co/ehxwNm
Jessie still looking better/more modern, or is that the intended/expected look for Stretch?
Also the colors: many panels in Stretch are more brownish, while in Jessy they had a more neutral grey tone. Check the bottom panel of VLC (where you control sound volume) in above screenshots.
Can the above properties be changed by configuration; or do I have to recompile Gnome/GTK?
Thanks

Get Qt 5 applications to match Gtk themes in a Gtk 3 desktop? Try installing qt5-style-plugins and creating an /etc/X11/Xsession.d/98qtconfig file with the contents
Code: Select all
export QT_QPA_PLATFORMTHEME=gtk2
export QT_PLATFORMTHEME=gtk2

Acronyms drive me nuts. Time and again someone posts a string of letters that I have to enter into a search engine in order to discover what is meant. Acronyms are convenient but they can be more problem than solution.mrspuck wrote:Luckily there was no acronym test before running the installer...

Thanks. I tried it but it does not help.
This has no effect. At least none I noticed. I guess it was already the default.ruffwoof wrote:stevepusser wrote:Get Qt 5 applications to match Gtk themes in a Gtk 3 desktop? Try installing qt5-style-plugins and creating an /etc/X11/Xsession.d/98qtconfig file with the contentsCode: Select all

This completely breaks layout under Stretch. VLC looks like junk (black menus and panels, no gaps between menus etc.). I fell back to "directly after installation" snapshot in my VM to make sure it is not related to the Vertex theme I am using, but same result.ruffwoof wrote:stevepusser wrote: Addingto ~/.profile works for me under Jessie.
