Probably theme issue with Qt programs

[on Fedora 40 & 41]

Hi,

I don't theme Gnome and stay with the defaults. However at some point a few months ago I must have done something that broke the theme for Qt programs: KeepassXC, QOwnNotes, Nextcloud desktop client, all rpm. I tried the flatpak version of keepassxc, no issue

symptoms:

  • KeepassXC starts in light theme, even when system is using dark. If I reopen it, it switches to dark
  • font became very small both in KeepassXC and QOwnnotes
  • there's something wrong with the windows shadows
  • taskbar icons show 3 dots instead of the apps respective icons. This is fixed with Fedora 41 for Nextcloud only !
  • taskbar icons are unresponsive/won't work. half fixed with Fedora 41.

I tried a few things:

  • disabled extensions
  • reset all gnome settings
  • themed Qt with Kvantum (might have been a bad idea) (reverted)
  • installed a custom theme for the system (reverted)
  • removed some Qt stuff which seemingly weren't a dependency for anything

I also have a laptop running Fedora Gnome and don't have those issues.

What else could I try?

Thanks for reading!

how to configure gnome-shell to show keyboard backlight (and others) ?

Hi,

I needed to change my machine to a new one (tuxedo gen9), and I quickly installed my distro of choice (manjaro-gnome), and configured it as the old machine (I am very conservative on this... I do not like the change as it introduces some friction in my workflow... I even have the same wallpaper from the last 10 years, heh :P).

Turns out, I am unable to "see" some options of the gnome-shell that were present in my older machine:

  • keyboard backlight regulation (and it works, as I am able to regulate it with fn+space)
  • background apps

I would like to bave them back... any hint on what I can be missing ?

Why the window buttons (minimize, maximize and close) aren't the same?

HI everyone, I really like gnome, mainly because I have a small screen and the taskbar is thin so I have much more space while still able to have information about the system.

But one problem I am facing is the window buttons aren't the same across the system.

For example firefox shows the buttons according my theme: !firefox_window-buttons

Now for example, the file/directory explorer (nautilus right?): !file-explorer

These are my appearance settings: !appearance

Am I doing something wrong?
