Description Christian Ehrlicher 2009-08-23 15:48:42 UTC

Version:            (using Devel)
Compiler:          msvc 200x 
OS:                MS Windows
Installed from:    Compiled sources

The windows style is not used in kde programs. I added a fix for this some time ago but it was removed. It just looks ugly!

Comment 1 Jarosław Staniek 2009-08-23 15:52:48 UTC

Christian, could you point to the fix?
The visual defaults should of course be inherited from the underlying OS, so you're right.

Comment 2 Christian Ehrlicher 2009-08-23 16:05:52 UTC

It's r977592 where it was reverted by carlo segato. I knew that the fix wasn't very good but it was better than nothing and carlo reverted it without asking *why* i added it.

Comment 3 Carlo Segato 2009-08-23 16:09:31 UTC

I reverted it because that way the color schemes were completely disabled for all styles
this was the fix by christian http://websvn.kde.org/trunk/KDE/kdelibs/kdeui/kernel/kglobalsettings.cpp?r1=941565&r2=965345

Comment 4 Jarosław Staniek 2009-08-23 16:17:12 UTC

I am trying to understand the need and the problem.

Couldn't we first check if the style is "windows", and if it is, skip using the createApplicationPalette()?

Comment 5 Michael Sprauer 2009-11-11 19:10:28 UTC

Is there something going on here? 
Any decision yet?
I'd really like to have the more "native" look and feel on windows.

Comment 6 Jarosław Staniek 2009-11-11 20:47:16 UTC

I am opting for keeping Christian's fix, even if temporary, because "native" look and feel on windows is of higher priority.

User can always change Windows palette in the native dialog. Having different palette in KDE and different in native windows apps is by no means user-level feature.

Comment 7 Christian Ehrlicher 2010-03-07 16:29:05 UTC

any news on this?

Comment 8 Jarosław Staniek 2010-03-07 17:33:45 UTC

Hmm, first I need to make my installation look more default here, to see how users see the settings after clean install...

Comment 9 Christoph Feck 2011-04-24 10:10:22 UTC

What is the status of this bug? If the issue is still present, does it need to be addressed in kdelibs/kdeui?
