Browser Development • Re: Linux Pale Moon with Qt toolkit

Off-topic:

Fuck no!!! It's not enough that GTK3's is so inept - you wanna destroy Qt's chance of saving the day?! Leave it alone, just make sure the listView headers don't overwrite from one Qt version to another (in ~/QtProject.conf). Qt 6.2 still isn't fixed in that regard, had to jump through hoops to separate Qt5 settings from Qt6's.

Fuck yes. Most modern desktop environments allow this. Firefox can use this functionality for example. XDG portals are readily available on most modern desktops including GNOME, KDE, and (I think but I'm not 100% sure) XFCE. I plan to implement this just like in Firefox, where it can be disabled both via overriding env vars or via an about:config option. Use your brain, you seem to be a smart man. If you don't like the feature disable it.

Nobody is "destroying QT's chance of saving the day". Please do more research before making comments like that. Forgive me for trying to modernize something. I think I'm going to just stop working on improving our Linux support. Nobody else seems to actually be interested enough in doing it to actually write the code to do it, even though plenty of people are more than happy to complain about our Linux support being dated. It's obvious nobody else cares enough to put in work to improve it so I shouldn't waste my time either.

Additionally, every time I try to provide suggestions or add new features, even when optional, people complain or have different opinions and I'm tired of wasting my time on posts like this when I could actually be writing code to improve things for every Pale Moon, Basilisk, and Epyrus user. The QT frontend is off. I'm only doing web compat and bug fixes going forward. If someone else is interested in the QT frontend feel free to PM me and I can help you understand what was implemented and how to move forward from here.

Thank you for helping me understand why Moonchild's signature says Linux makes everything difficult.
