Set appropriate style for the user's platform ?

Hi,

i set the application style like this:

Code:

---

QApplication::setStyle(QStyleFactory::create(styleName));

---

then i will set the most appropriate style for the user's platform or desktop environment and try that:

Code:

---

QApplication::setStyle(0);

---

but the style don't change to the the most appropriate style!

How can i do that?

Thanks in advance,

Is styleName in the list that QStyleFactory::keys returns?
As far as I know there is no need to override manually the style, because the platform style is used by default.

Anyway, you can rest assured that WinXP style won;t be set by default on another platform than Windows, or Mac style on other platform than Mac.

I say this from experience.

I'll say even more. WinXP style won't be set on systems older than WinXP :)

Yes, the styleName is in the list that QStyleFactory::keys returns for example i set "plastique":

Code:

---

QApplication::setStyle(QStyleFactory::create("plastique"));

---

Yes the platform style is used by default, but my problem is, i set a style like ("plastique") and can't reset to the platform default style.

In Qt 3.3 i can do it with:

Code:

---

QApplication::setStyle(0);

---

but Qt 4.2 do nothing.

The problem is not a dependent style like "windowsxp" and "macintosh", you know what i mean?

Why not store the name of the default style before setting the new one?

How can i store the default style?

Code:

---

QString name = QApplication::style().objectName();

---

Thank you, i can use it, but i think that's not fine. Is no function available like this:

Code:

---

QApplication->setStyle(QApplication->defaultStyle());

AFAIK, nothing like that exists. You can send suggestions via Task-Tracker.

Thanks at all. I try it and send my suggestions via Task-Tracker.
