Widget Style is different if App is running in Qt Creator then "outside" under Windows
-
Dear All!
I updated my Qt app to 6.6 and have the following problem now:
When I run my app which is using a QDial from within Qt Creator, everything looks like expected (see the left dial on the screenshot).But when It runs right from the File-System in the target folder i get a complete different look of the QDial (and also the buttons) - see the right dial on the screenshot.
Even when I try to set the style via QApplication::setStyle(QStyleFactory::create("Windows")); it is not changed.
Somewhere I read that styles can me implemented via Plug-Ins. Do I have to add some DLLs to the folder whre the .exe is residing so get the correct result?
Or anything else...?Many thanks in advance,
Klaus

Hi,
If you want to start your application from the explorer you should follow the deployment steps with windeployqt. I must say that it is surprising that your application starts at all already.

Klaus@klausix The dial on the left looks like Windows Vista Style, but may be Fusion, and the right-hand dial is maybe Windows style like you coded.
The style plugins live, alongside all the others, under the Qt library folder
.../plugins/styles. An online installer version of Qt 6.6 on Windows 11 gives me only the Windows Vista Style plugin. -
