[Fosdem-maemo-devel] bugs related to qt style

[Kirillov M. <mak...@ix...>]

I have installed a new qt4.6 (4.6.2~git20100310-0maemo1+0m5) and discovered several ugly effects:

1. some black objects over the conference bar. They turn out to be a scroll buttons. In desktop, the scroll buttons also have some gap between them, but at least it's clear that they are scroll buttons.
2. group contents partially closes group title. I also saw the same effect in the event description, but could not save a screenshot.

I could not send screenshots here and made an entry in the sourceforge tracker:
https://sourceforge.net/tracker/index.php?func=detail&aid=2986993&group_id=284409&atid=1205713

I suppose both of the effects are caused by bugs in the default style. When I change the style with '-style' option, they are not reproduced. If I choose the "gtk" style, the application even have the familiar n900 look, and does not have the described bugs.

There is also a problem with the default style - everything is very large. Font, padding in control and so on. The application does not fit in the screen sometimes (for example, the "conferences" tab). Even gtk style (which have n900-look) is smaller.

I'm not sure if it worth to be fixing these issues now. Probably in some short time there will be a new release of qt, where default style will be better.
