13:59:44 <brainycmurf> #topic Reconsider use of adwaita-qt
13:59:46 <brainycmurf> #link https://pagure.io/fedora-workstation/issue/351
13:59:48 <brainycmurf> We've received some negative feedback about our own custom adwaita-qt theme
13:59:50 <brainycmurf> Jan has written a blog post to explain the differences between adwaita-qt and QGNOMEPlatform
13:59:52 <brainycmurf> #link https://jgrulich.cz/2023/03/08/explained-qgnomeplatform-and-adwaita-qt/
13:59:54 <brainycmurf> Hopefully the colour issue is now fixed. It's in a copr that can be used for testing.

13:59:58 <brainycmurf> That leaves various other style problems. Dark mode is an issue. So is icon theme breakage.
14:00:00 <brainycmurf> Icons issue: KDE apps seem to be using Breeze-specific icons? Plasmatube was one example of the icon issue.
14:00:05 <brainycmurf> Owen: consistency with the desktop is secondary to not being broken
14:00:07 <brainycmurf> Michael: Fusion looks fine - screenshots of Ubuntu don't have the style issues we're seeing in Fedora
14:00:10 <brainycmurf> Examples of additional followup adwaita-qt style fixes can be seen here:

14:00:14 <brainycmurf> Jan's not against dropping adwaita-qt. You do get issues when apps do custom styling on top of an existing qt style. Maintaining adwaita-qt is a lot of work. Dropping it will eliminate a lot of issues. We could potentially use Breeze if it is installed.
14:00:18 <brainycmurf> Owen: Despite what I said about the availability of Breeze for Flatpaks - I'd probably prefer that we *consistently* use Fusion within GNOME rather than have Qt apps both ways based on technology.
14:00:21 <brainycmurf> A KDE runtime is being worked on for Fedora, so Flatpaked KDE apps will have the Breeze theme available
14:00:24 <brainycmurf> adwaita-qt could still be available for Fedora Media Writer, and it would still need to be around to be used for QGnomePlatform - it just wouldn't be used for the apps
14:00:27 <brainycmurf> Various options available for Fedora Media Writer - could have the styling internally, or we could investigate using Fusion
14:00:30 <brainycmurf> #agree We'll stop using adwaita-qt for apps. Michael to summarise in the ticket.
14:00:32 <brainycmurf> Neal would prefer us to use a different theme other than Fusion - he'll make a suggestion in the ticket
14:00:37 <brainycmurf> #topic Fedora test day QA results

14:00:43 <brainycmurf> Lots of crash reports for gnome-contacts
14:00:45 <brainycmurf> Results and format seems improved since last release. Upstream issue reports are good to see.
