Quanta rocks....
by Debian User on Sunday 19/Jan/2003, @01:23

Unfortunately theKompany bases everything on QT, to get sales from Windows, which is a reasonable thing to do, but makes their products appear as alien as Motif stuff on a customized KDE. Either should QT hook better into KDE, using their classes if they are present, or this will remain.

So I think, Quanta Gold is not really an option. I really like Quanta Plus. In the old days, I created webpages with it and am pleased about the easy to use interface and KDE alike thing.

I like the tree-like document structure that is clickable. And I LOVE the preview thing, this was once, what got me into MS Frontpage.

Quanta just does the tricks I need better than I need. What else can I say, not being a web professional?

Yours, Kay

As far as the appearance difference goes, simply run the qtconfig binary in your qt directory (eg, /usr/lib/qt3/bin/qtconfig) and change the QT style to whatever you're using in KDE. All of my QT apps look like Keramik, for example. This doesn't solve the file selector dialog issue, but at least everyone is using the same widgets.

IMHO, KDE should do this automatically.... or at least have yet-another-checkbox for it :)

Hmm? That's supposed to happen automatically.. The one reason for it not happening I can think of is if you're using KDE3.0.x with Qt3.1.x. Which isn't really supported...

It does happen

Yeah, my Opera is using my KDE style without me doing anything.
Although it's alot better, it'd be really cool if Qt apps could
know what platform they were running on and attempt to use the
system file dialogs before defaulting to the Qt version...or what
would be easier is if KDE hijacked Qt calls with it's own calls
(i.e. if KDE shipped a modified Qt library that would call KDE file
dialogs instead of Qt file dialogs)

I know it sounds pathetic to be basing things on the look of the
dialogs and icons, but I just can't get accustomed to using Opera
or theKompany's Studio. Konqueror and KDevelop feel so good.
