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!
Christian, could you point to the fix? The visual defaults should of course be inherited from the underlying OS, so you're right.
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.
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
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()?
Is there something going on here? Any decision yet? I'd really like to have the more "native" look and feel on windows.
I am opting for keeping Christian's fix, even if temporary, because "native" look and feel on windows is of higher priority. http://websvn.kde.org/trunk/KDE/kdelibs/kdeui/kernel/kglobalsettings.cpp?r1=941565&r2=965345 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.
any news on this?
Hmm, first I need to make my installation look more default here, to see how users see the settings after clean install...
What is the status of this bug? If the issue is still present, does it need to be addressed in kdelibs/kdeui?
