Yes, if some user switches a theme or style in our system settings<br>
or in the application (like we do it with the color scheme switcher some<br>
applications like Kate have) that is fine.<br>
<br>
But beside that, we should just force our default style and icon set,<br>
like we do on Windows and macOS already, that will even make some <br>
patches<br>
and ifdef's useless we need now to sprinkle in all apps we really <br>
support on<br>
these platforms.<br></blockquote><div><br></div><div>Definitely agree with this, having to add special handling to every application to get a good experience on that platform is not ideal.</div><div><br></div><div>Having our Frameworks handle this in one place, with a consistent approach, will overall improve the quality of the experience users get with our software outside of a Plasma desktop environment (and reduce developer porting workload) - and might help break some of the age-old stigma that KDE apps have to be used with a KDE desktop environment.</div><div> </div><blockquote class="gmail_quote" style="margin:0px 0px 0px 0.8ex;border-left:1px solid rgb(204,204,204);padding-left:1ex">
