[Solved] Qt Creator 2.2.1 on Ubuntu 11.04: the GUI is messed up
-
Hello,
I just installed Qt Creator 2.2.1 from the website download and the GUI is somewhat messed up. The menu looks a bit funny, but worst is in the Project page and Options dialog box: the buttons are gone only the button labels are there, the drop down boxes are gone with the choices are visible but not usable. I would post a pic but I did not find how to do it.
I had 2.1.0 before that I installed from repository and it worked fine.
Do you know what's up with 2.2.1 and if there is an easy fix for it?
THX!

Most likely the ubuntu theme is causing this trouble.
Try running Qt Creator with "-style plastique" and see whether that fixes the issue. Please file a bug against the gtk style in your installed Qt version in that case.

That worked - thank you!!

Can I set that style permanently?

I had a similar behaviour on debian squeeze with KDE when i used configure without options.
This is how i solved it permanently:
i looked in the mkspecs subfolder for the qtconfig.pri file of the qt debian package. I made sure i had the same options when using configure as in the QT_CONFIG line and the result was a nice and shiny Qt Creator 2.2.1. -
I do not have such config file and I cannot easily find anything similar. I added the style to the command line that will work for now.
How can I mark this thread as solved?

You can edit the first post and add [Solved] in front of the thread title

Thanks.
I reported the bug.

bq. I do not have such config file and I cannot easily find anything similar.
Sorry my mistake. I thought you used the sources and compiled Qt yourself. I see in your first post now you used the installer.

bq. Can I set that style permanently?
you could add an item to your kubuntu menu and use the command Tobias gave you :
"/yourQtPath/qtcreator -style plastique"
in it -
