How right you are. Thanks for spotting this. I had never tried the 6 +
1 different values for the Qt Style setting, so I didn't realize that
the choice of style had such a huge impact on usability and that
changing it required the themer to do separate testing of the qtlook.txt
(and that the default was virtually useless--even after the qtlook.txt
update we just got for Terra after the last thread on this topic).
Since there's no reason to force a themer to do 6x the testing (+1 for
"Desktop Style"--which uses whatever the user's system Qt style is set
to, meaning /any/ Qt style in existence) and since we're moving /all/
the stuff currently governed by the setting to actually use
mythui/themed widgets, this setting doesn't make a lot of sense. So,
momentarily, I'll be removing the setting, and I'll make it always use
the Windows style, which--as you said--is the only one that works for
all widget types with the qtlook.txt for Terra and MythCenter*.
Thanks,
Mike
