qt6ct - Qt6 Configuration Tool

This program allows users to configure Qt6 settings (theme, font, icons, etc.)

under DE/WM without Qt integration.

Official home page: https://github.com/trialuser02/qt6ct

Requirements:

- GNU Linux or FreeBSD

- qtbase >= 6.0.0

- qtsvg >= 6.0.0 (Runtime dependency for the SVG icon support)

- qttools >= 6.0.0 (For build only)

Installation:

- Arch package

  https://archlinux.org/packages/?q=qt6ct

- Source Code (qmake)

  qmake PREFIX=

  make

  sudo make install

- Source Code (cmake)

  cmake -DCMAKE_INSTALL_PREFIX=

  make

  sudo make install

Add line 'export QT_QPA_PLATFORMTHEME=qt6ct' to ~/.profile and re-login.

Alternatively, create the file /etc/X11/Xsession.d/100-qt6ct with

the following line:

export QT_QPA_PLATFORMTHEME=qt6ct

(or qt5ct for compatibility with Qt5 Configuration Tool)

Now restart X11 server to take the changes effect.

Extra build options (for advanced users only):

qmake DISABLE_WIDGETS=1 - compiles platform plugin without QtWidgets (useful for QML applications only)

qmake PLUGINDIR= - changes the default installation path of the plugins (libqt6ct.so and libqt6ct-style.so)

Wayland:

If you are running Qt application under Wayland, you should export the following variables:

export QT_QPA_PLATFORM=wayland

export QT_QPA_PLATFORMTHEME=qt6ct

Debug Messages:

By default, debug messages from platform plugin are disabled. To enable them, you should

export the following environment variable:

export QT_LOGGING_RULES="qt6ct.debug=true"

Another way is to change qtlogging.ini file. See Qt documentation for details:

https://doc.qt.io/qt-6/qloggingcategory.html (paragraph "Configuring Categories")
