Before posting

Please follow the steps below and check the boxes with [x] once you did the step.

• [x] I checked the issue tracker for similar issues
• [x] I checked the changelog if the issue is already resolved
• [x] I tried the latest Clementine build from here

System information

Please provide information about your system and the version of Clementine used.

• Operating System: Ubuntu Studio 18.10
• Clementine version: 1.3.1

Expected behaviour / actual behaviour

Clementine should follow the same theme as everything else on the system, but it currently doesn't. It used to do this on Xfce no problem.


Here is a picture of what it was like on 18.04 vs what its like on 18.10

Steps to reproduce the problem (only for bugs)

Install Clementine on either Ubuntu Studio and Xubuntu version 18.10. Everything else works fine, it just won't follow the system theme. I tried updating all of the Qt components which caused the font in Clementine to get bigger but nothing else. Other Qt programs such as Amarok follow the theme no problem.

Try to install qtconfig and change the GUI style to GTK+ within the app

I believe ubuntu switched to the qt5 version of clementine so you need to use qt5ct

I tried this, the default was already set to GTK+

I installed qt5ct, but I am getting an error whenever I try to run it, I'll see if I can get it working. Thank you to both of you

@Ajt8000 qt5ct needs the environment variable QT_QPA_PLATFORMTHEME=qt5ct exported to work properly - could be the source of your issue.

I was able to get Clementine harmonized with my existing GTK+ 2 and GTK+ 3 theming with the following settings:

@cmorgenstern That did it thanks! I did have to install qt5-stule-plugins as well, once I did that I got the options you showed.
