Theming / Font configuration: "bold" inherited unexpectedly
I've been trying to style my Qt apps since I discovered the old Motif-look Style Plugin still exists; maybe I can have software not made in 1994 that looks like it was!
In the process, I noticed an odd behaviour.
I set up
QT_QPA_PLATFORMTHEME=qt5ctso I could use qt5ct to do the basic configuration.If I set the "general" font as bold, and the "fixed width" value as non-bold, when I reload qt5ct, it's switched to bold. This can also be seen in other Qt programs.
If I manually force the issue by editing qt5ct.conf, manually setting up a block like this, the bold fixed-width font still shows
[Fonts]fixed="Go Mono,11,-1,5,75,0,0,0,0,0,Regular"general="Helvetica,11,-1,5,75,0,0,0,0,0,Bold"I thought this might be some weirdness due to the specific fonts I chose, but swapping in "Liberation Sans" and "Courier 10 Pitch" produce the same situation.
The only way I can have my fixed-width font be "regular" is to also leave the general font as "regular". This is not a connection I expected.
Is this a known issue? Is there a workaround?

- www.qt.io RESTful Client Applications in Qt 6.7 and Forward
A blog post about making RESTful Qt client application development more convenient.
Cool stuff:
> Qt 6.7 introduces convenience improvements for implementing typical RESTful/HTTP client applications. The goal was/is to reduce the repeating networking boilerplate code by up to 40% by addressing the small but systematically repeating needs in a more convenient way.
> These include a new QHttpHeaders class for representing HTTP headers, QNetworkRequestFactory for creating API-specific requests, QRestAccessManager class for addressing small but often-repeating pieces of code, and QRestReply class for extracting the data from replies and checking for errors. QNetworkRequestFactory, QRestAccessManager, and QRestReply are released as Technical Previews in Qt 6.7.

Qt Wayland, Supercharged
One of the key components to using a Plasma Wayland session is obviously the Qt Wayland Client module for running Qt applications in a Wayland environment. While it has been successfully deployed to millions of devices over the years, there’s still a few areas that feel like they haven’t been touched much since its inception as part of the Qt Lighthouse project, what turned into QPA, the Qt Platform Abstraction.
