Mac on Qt 5.11 not deploying with Aqua look-and-feel?

ghutchis

I've been a long-time developer with Qt for the Avogadro project (https://avogadro.cc/)

I recently updated from 5.9.x to 5.11.1 and now the Mac build has a very generic look and feel to QComboBox, etc.

I checked and the package includes libqcocoa.dylib - everything seems to be the same between 5.9.x builds and 5.11.x but the GUI doesn't match the Mac style.

Any ideas or pointers?

Thanks in advance!

@ghutchis
Have you tried to deploy using macdeployqt tool ?

In my case: when i deploy using windeployqt tool, this copy the style of Windows 7 to my deploy folder.

Hi,

IIRC, there was a regression with QComboBox between 5.10 and 5.11. You should check the bug report system to see if you can find something related.

@SGaist - appreciate that, but it's not just the QComboBox - that's the most obvious case, but not the only part. Tabs, etc. are all using a different style.

@KillerSmath - we don't use macdeployqt - that may be part of the problem.

Based on your comments, I built a bunch of examples with qmake, and they were just fine. So there's definitely a deploy problem..

I'll sort through it and post back here.

Thanks for the suggestions.
