[Solved] Qt Creator 2.2.1 on Ubuntu 11.04: the GUI is messed up

? Offline

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?

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.

you could add an item to your kubuntu menu and use the command Tobias gave you :
"/yourQtPath/qtcreator -style plastique"
in it

That's what I did, except I use GNOME.

Thanks.
