  "textContent": "> Qt version of Pale Moon would be fine with me, I use plenty of applications with Qt toolkit, they work great.\n\nSame here. I find that Qt/KDE applications seem to be built with a little more consideration than Gtk* applications, have more features, and don't crash that often (if ever). Sadly, this Qt experimental build of Pale Moon crashes badly (segfault). I know it's just a proof of concept but still. Maybe it's the toolkit? I used Clang as GCC failed to compile succesfully everytime I tried.\n\n\n> how you have configured Qt4, Qt5 and Qt6 to use GTK2 themes?\n\nThere is a configuration application that comes separately to the Qt suite. There is one for each Qt version: qtconfig-qt4, qt5ct, qt6ct.\nThese apps can select a common theming engine or a different one for each toolkit version, usually defaulting to DE's default. Through these apps there would be absolutely no difference between a Qt Pale Moon and native Gtk apps, on a Gtk system.\n\n\n\nI even built and installed a recent version of the Kvantum engine, which is available to all three Qt versions. Making themes for it is kinda difficult though; I couldn't find a SVG editor for my Mint 19 that could edit such a theme correctly, and the default ones are not at all to my liking (I strongly dislike dark themes).\n\nSince we are back to the original Qt topic, my humble opinion is that Pale Moon could begin with a Qt5 port, a version that would be accessible to older systems too (I have Qt 5.9.5 as default here in Mint 19/Ubuntu 18.04),and for Qt6 could stick with Qt 6.2 which so far is the most that can be backported to such systems (6.2.13 is what I currently have installed).\nI have no idea if a Qt4 port would be feasible and/or useful to users, maybe others could chime in on this.\n\n* * *",
