Hello,
I am trying to get more visually appealing style on Windows XP. I know, that I can force style to entire application. I've tried windows, windowsxp, even plastique style, and it is somehow working. But...
What I need to do, is to get more .NET like look and feel. I found a QtDotNetStyle, which was back there in QT 4.3 or 4.4. I *THINK* that it was merged into what is now QWindowsXPStyle. This style works only, and only if Windows XP are in themed mode. It does not work in classic mode. And this is my problem. Is it possible to force QWindowsXPStyle even on classic Windows XP ? Or better, is it possible to get .NET style anywhere ?
My primary development platform is linux-gcc, and I have no problems using GTK styles. But when it comes to windows porting (which is done now on WindowsXP-MSVC2010 and Windows7-MSVC2010), applications are appearing very ugly on non-themed (classic) windows styles. They are using only QWindowsStyle. I need to get them styled.
