Hi,

I have application which is using QT widgetset on all platforms (gnome, kde, windows). But Qt is trying simulate native look on all platforms. Exists any style or switch which makes the program will look the same on all platforms?

Regards

Ask Graeme...

Yes. Start your application with param -style windows. It's win95 look and it works on all platforms.

Thanks!

fpGUI perhaps?

This interface is the best solution, but I can't use it until it doesn't have trayicon component

Instead of provide the startup style parameter
you can also programmatically achieve this,
see the mainwindow demo program of the binding on

Kind regards,

Jan

I couldn't say it better myself. :-)

Qt apps (not sure about LCL-Qt ones) support a -style parameter. Qt includes 4-5 styles (Win9x, Motif, CDE, ClearLooks etc.) by default which you can use.

via LCL-fpGUI or via native fpGUI? Either way, native fpGUI Toolkit should have a trayicon component in the next few days. It's very near complete.

@Graeme. What about tray icon in fpGUI?

Get a repository update later in the week, and it should be there. ;-)

Native. Hmm, I've never heard about LCL-fpGUI. What is this? I can mix standard LCL controls with fpGUI? How to install it?

Ok I found something:

It is a Lazarus LCL widgetset backend. It is a LCL interface to other toolkits just like LCL-Qt, LCL-GTK1, LCL-GTK2, LCL-CustomDrawn, LCL-Cocoa, LCL-Carbon.

Native fpGUI: This is when you only use fpGUI Toolkit - no LCL. This is when you get the true power of fpGUI and single source development, with very low dependencies.
LCL-fpGUI: This is when you use LCL, and told the Lazarus IDE to compile your project for the fpGUI Toolkit backend.

No.

How to install it?

LCL-fpGUI comes standard with Lazarus, but it is still in Alpha state. Many feature still need to be implemented before it can truly be used to compile any LCL application. There is no dedicated developer working on this, hence progress is slow. It's not a difficult task though. I simply don't have the time, as fpGUI, tiOPF, FPTest, OnGuard, my daytime job, and my family keeps me rather busy. I do occasionally supply LCL-fpGUI patches though.
