Some user guide:

My patchset contains multiple fixes/features in comparison to vanilla qt6ct:

  1. KDE color schemes support
  2. KDE QML applications theming support
  3. KDE's icon engine is used, fixing monochrome icons colors (I saw problems with e.g. Adapta Kvantum theme on KDE applications toolbars, like dolphin, they're grey when should be white)

xdg-desktop-portal allows you to have KDE dialogs in non-KDE environment without installing plasma-integration package. To get them, all you need is:

  1. Install xdg-desktop-portal + xdg-desktop-portal-kde
  2. If you have xdg-desktop-portal-gtk installed, rename usr/share/xdg-desktop-portal/portals/gtk.portal to zz-gtk.portal (backend priority is in alphabetical order). You can add that file to NoExtract in pacman.conf.
  3. Ensure that session dbus instance is running correctly.

How to ensure that session dbus instance is running correctly when using xinit (DMs should already do the right thing for you):

  1. Ensure you don't have dbus-launch nor dbus-session-run in .xinitrc
  2. Ensure you copied the for f in /etc/X11/xinit/xinitrc.d/?*.sh loop from /etc/X11/xinit/xinitrc to your .xinitrc
  3. Ensure you have no errors in systemctl --user status dbus and the service is running. You shouldn't enable the service, it should be activated by dbus.socket.

In case of Wayland, you may need to integrate your WM with systemd (that's what one of the scripts in /etc/X11/xinit/xinitrc.d does for X11): https://github.com/swaywm/sway/wiki#gtk-applications-take-20-seconds-to-start

@q234rty thanks, I had no chance to test it and only ensured it builds, looks like KColorSchemeManager from KF6 always sets a QString while previously it was setting an empty variant when no custom color scheme is set.

This package does not work for me (on neochat at least). I did a bit of debugging and found that using if(qApp->property("KDE_COLOR_SCHEME_PATH").toString().isEmpty()) instead of if(qApp->property("KDE_COLOR_SCHEME_PATH").isNull()) makes it work.

You're commenting under qt6ct-kde, not qt5ct-kde. The dependency is right

The dependency is now called qqc2-desktop-style5 with the recent renaming of the KF5 packages.
