[Solved] Style won't change from Oxygen

[TeaSwigger]

Yes, it is true, I am fussy about the appearance and every few days I like to change the wallpaper and the looks (style, colors, icons etc) to suit it. Fortunately KDE is beautiful and customizable. But for some reason, the style won't change after the latest update pack (I actually made a fresh install before the latest update pack and everything is otherwise working perfectly).

If I go to System Settings > Style and select (for example) QTCurve style and click Apply, it appears to work. The System Settings takes on the new setting and running apps (for example, Akregator) will take on the new setting. But: then open an app (Dolphin for example, or even close and reopen System Settings) and it is still using Oxygen! It never keeps the new setting. If you go back to System Settings > Style, it shows the style you selected, even though everything is ignoring it and still using Oxygen. Logging out and back in makes no difference.

In case it matters, some details: using NVIDIA drivers (DDM recommended, installed with DDM); desktop effects settings are: Composting type: OpenGL 1.2 (videos can be choppy if I use any other type) and Raster. I have installed oxygen-transparent and QTCurve installed from the repos.

Hm yes that is the same problem on your completely different setup. I'm getting too much oxygen! It's nice to call this kind of thing a "problem" but I do love a beautiful styled system so I hope there's at least a work around until its fixed.

I've tried creating a new user. The new account behaves the same. The oxygen is stuck on.

i believe that our oxygen spell is finally broken
with the help of spacepenguin (from our friend siduction http://siduction.org/index.php?name=PNp ... 2998#32998) that a few days ago had the same issue

- do a backup-copy of ~/.config/Trolltech.conf (just in case)
- in ~/.config/Trolltech.conf (near the top) look for the [Qt] section and remove

Code: Select all

style=Oxygen

save, logout/in; you should be able to change styles again.

Brilliant. This fix worked for me as well. Thanks to spacepenguin and yourself.

Now to readjust to the normal variable atmosphere.

brilliant, this fix worked for my crappy intel graphics, i could change style, but transperancy would get lost...
