Kleopatra: Use Breeze style on Windows
Closed, ResolvedPublic
Actions

Description

We should use KDE's Breeze style for our Windows builds in the future.

Advantages:

  • Kleopatra looks the same on all platforms.
  • The Breeze style is well supported for Windows because it's used for all Windows builds of apps published by KDE.
  • We don't have to chase bugs in Qt's Windows styles (like T7414).

Disadvantages:

  • We have to build and package the Breeze style.

We may do this for gpg4win-5 but not for the current versions.

We are using the style already since quite some time for gpg4win-5. I keep this ticket open for now for further adjustments (e.g. removal of workarounds added for other styles).

This is more a technical ticket. There's not really something to test. Setting to Resolved/Done as discussed with ebo.

Issues with the Breeze style (e.g. related to high contrast) are handled by other tickets, e.g. T7610: Kleopatra: Update custom colored UI elements when colors change and T7588: Kleopatra: Several problems with icons in high contrast modes.
