@k900:0upti.meK900The GNOME-like CSD is the thing currently in qtwayland21:18:21
@k900:0upti.meK900QGnomePlatform and adwaita-qt are both out of tree21:18:28
@normalcea:matrix.orgjasi 🏳️‍⚧️I see, why isn't qtwayland just part of qtbase?21:18:54
@normalcea:matrix.orgjasi 🏳️‍⚧️ Is Qt waiting for GNOME to adopt SSD? 21:19:35
@k900:0upti.meK900As of Qt 6.10, all of qtwayland but the GNOME-like decoration plugin is in qtbase21:19:57
@k900:0upti.meK900The GNOME-like decoration plugin cannot go into qtbase because it uses QML, which is in qtdeclarative, which depends on qtbase21:20:17
@normalcea:matrix.orgjasi 🏳️‍⚧️I understand this better, thank you for explaining21:20:58
@normalcea:matrix.orgjasi 🏳️‍⚧️Hm21:21:09
@normalcea:matrix.orgjasi 🏳️‍⚧️ Can users use the existing qt.style option for this? 21:24:15
@k900:0upti.meK900It's complicated because that option doesn't actually do that21:24:44
@k900:0upti.meK900Or rather21:25:05
@k900:0upti.meK900It does a bunch of weird and somewhat unrelated things21:25:05
@k900:0upti.meK900But currently window decorations are not one of those thiings21:25:47
@k900:0upti.meK900And in practice it will just do nothing on most setups because most setups are SSD21:26:04
@normalcea:matrix.orgjasi 🏳️‍⚧️ Then I still think GNOME shouldn't hold up dropping qtwayland from the wrapper hook. 21:27:17
@normalcea:matrix.orgjasi 🏳️‍⚧️It seems to me that GNOME either has to implement SSD or Qt needs to funnel the GNOME CSD into qtbase.21:28:11
@normalcea:matrix.orgjasi 🏳️‍⚧️In any case, GNOME users should be used to this by now21:28:18
@normalcea:matrix.orgjasi 🏳️‍⚧️ * It seems to me that GNOME either has to implement SSD or Qt needs to funnel the GNOME CSD into qtbase in a future release or so. 21:28:57
@k900:0upti.meK900Well if anyone wants to volunteer themselves to rewrite the GNOME CSD plugin to use QPainter21:29:02
@k900:0upti.meK900 Then I'm sure the Qt people will be interested 21:29:02
@k900:0upti.meK900 But also, again, I don't think there's any significant problems with dropping it from the hook, the question is whether we want to make it so the default GNOME setups include the plugin 21:30:34
@k900:0upti.meK900 And if yes, how 21:30:34
@normalcea:matrix.orgjasi 🏳️‍⚧️ I think default GNOME setups shouldn't include the plugin if it involves pulling in qt6base. 21:33:12
@normalcea:matrix.orgjasi 🏳️‍⚧️GNOME upstream has made this an issue for platform toolkits to solve, so GNOME users should live with that21:35:06
