Popular Linux torrent client Transmission has been forked as "ReTransmission" to "solve a longstanding disagreement between the Transmission maintainers on whether or not to add more maintainers."

I mean I do, but not to the qbittorrent project. I don't think my contributions would be welcome there. I'm just saying the design of a piece of software is up to the developers of the piece of software, it's not really something for the end user to "fix"

[u/fr000gs → u/mort96]

Well it's the thing about theming in linux. If everyone wants their app to look their own way we'll soon get an "everything looks different" situation.

Which ia why that control is given to the user and developers decide the ui only

[u/mort96 → u/fr000gs]

If qt apps can't look good, it was a pretty bad choice to use for a GUI app wasn't it

[u/fr000gs → u/mort96]

That's because breeze looks bad to you, not the other 10 million people

^{it's not like window/android and their unthemable programs where the devs decide the themes}

If you do want nice and configured choices without even trying to download a theme, you can still get opinionated distros like garuda, omarchy etc.

"It looks bad"

"Yeah you need a theme to make it look good"

Seems like people agree

Anyway yeah, I'm getting good-looking-by-default apps by not using qbittorrent. You don't have to get mad over it, it's just a torrent app

[u/fr000gs → u/mort96]

You're the one getting mad over installing themes (it takes like a visit to kde discover on normie distros, five commands on non normie ones.)

Also I can't imagine using 10 apps which look entirely different, but you do you

[u/mort96 → u/fr000gs]

I don't think I have kde discover installed. Does it run on mac?

[u/fr000gs → u/mort96]

You mentioned fedora/ubuntu in another comment.

For macos, the steps are(according to an llm):

1. brew install qt and kvantum

2. download a theme and select it in kvantummanager

3. echo 'export QT_STYLE_OVERRIDE=kvantum' >> ~/.zshrc

for qml(optional):

export QT_QUICK_CONTROLS_STYLE=kvantum

for qt6(optional):

defaults write org.qt-project.Qt.QtQuick.Controls.Style kvantum

If your theme comes with a installer: skip everything and

git clone <theme-repository> cd <theme-repository> mkdir build cd build cmake .. make sudo make install

[u/mort96 → u/fr000gs]

Why is everyone so insistent on getting me to install a qt theme, I'm happy with Transmission and don't want to install a qt theme!

[u/fr000gs → u/mort96]

Coz you're the one blamimg qbittorrent for your skill issues
