Most likely this is not solving the problem, but I see you just updated but haven’t reboot…

The kernel should have changed, so a reboot is anyway necessary.

Indeed.
Rebooted, but nothing changed.

Can you describe your method for enabling the Wayland session?

Have you seen this post? Issue with Qt Apps after enabling GDM Wayland via Garuda Assistant (among other things)

Thanks for the link.

It's a long and complex post.
I need time to read and understand it.

That's my /etc/environment:

File: /etc/environment
#
# This file is parsed by pam_env module
#
# Syntax: simple "KEY=VAL" pairs on separate lines
#
MOZ_ENABLE_WAYLAND=1
QT_QPA_PLATFORM="wayland;xcb"

Ah, so could you also include the contents of /etc/gdm/custom.conf? The linked thread has some details that might be relevant, and there's a little section at the bottom of the new wiki page for GNOME that me be of some help. This section of the ArchWiki page could also shed a little light.

There's some kind of weird interplay between Qt, Wayland, Icons/Themes that I don't completely understand. From those screenshots, it looks like you're trying to use Kvantum - if I recall correctly, you may need to explicitly set QT_QPA_PLATFORMTHEME=kvantum, or maybe install qt5ct alongside and set that var to =qt5ct.

It's also possible that since that var isn't set, Qt is either: actually trying to pull whatever icons are set for GNOME via Tweaks, OR Kvantum is expecting icons that don't exist? I've found "Tela" at least seems to have them rendering right.

I've found the most success with Qt apps on Wayland actually just not using kvantum/qt5ct, nor setting QT_QPA_PLATFORMTHEME or QT_QPA_PLATFORM at all. Under 42 at least, Qt apps seem to pretty much determine what they need for themselves and non-root Qt apps should even follow light/dark on your system.

You could also try setting QT_QPA_PLATFORMTHEME=gtk3 or =gnome to see what that does.

I'm planning to look into how further theming Qt apps under GNOME/Wayland can be pulled off, so if you have any successes there do let me know!

Sorry, I know that's a lot of info but if you read that linked thread above I've done a lot of messing around on this. Keep us posted!

(small side note - if you want to use Xorg at any point, you might also wanna set MOZ_ENABLE_WAYLAND to something other than 1 in ~/.profile so that FireFox+etc will use the Wayland backend only under Wayland. This works because .profile only gets pulled under Xorg, and will override overlapping vars in environment)

Whoa!!! A lot of information! :heart_eyes:

Thank you so much for your effort!
Probably even too much for my knowledge, but I'm trying to follow you and I really appreciate it!

I'll let you know my progress in accordance with my poor free time! :blush:

This particular application uses embedded icons. Theme issues shouldn’t impact it.

On the miscellaneous tab did you uncheck “Respect current DE if possible”?

yes I did.
Otherwise you can’t flag “iconless push buttons” in kvantum

Bingo!

That’s my .profile
I replace qt5ct with kvantum

cat .profile
File: .profile
export AMD_VULKAN_ICD=RADV
export EDITOR=/usr/bin/micro
export BROWSER=firefox
export TERM=alacritty
export MAIL=thunderbird
export QT_QPA_PLATFORMTHEME="kvantum"
export GTK2_RC_FILES="$HOME/.gtkrc-2.0"
export QT_QPA_PLATFORM="wayland;xcb"

I marked the relevant suggestion as Solution.
Hope this is OK.

Indeed, it works if I replace with gtk3, gnome, and comment the line as well.
So, what is your advise?
If I understand, you prefer let qt apps determine themselves what they need, so that means the better solution is comment the line in .profile. Right?

I mean, if it works without setting the variables at all, it doesn’t need to be in environment or .profile. Making different edits to .profile is only necessary if you notice different behavior under Xorg than you do under Wayland.

In general, I’m of the opinion that the less environment variables you’re setting globally, the better. It’s probably fine, and if it makes something work that’s sometimes the only way to do it, but it will occasionally cause problems if it forces a Qt app to use something it doesn’t like. Garuda’s GNOME edition ships with all the Qt platform and theme plugins Qt apps need to (mostly) play nice with GNOME without setting any variables.

So, if you’re happy with what unsetting all of them achieves, I’d leave it that way, and remove Kvantum/qt5ct. If you do want the more granular Qt-specific theming Kvantum offers, nothing wrong with that, you’ll just probably need to be setting QT_QPA_PLATFORMTHEME=kvantum in you /etc/environment. :person_shrugging:

Unrelated side note: that second line, DefaultSession=gnome-wayland.desktop in your custom.conf is probably unnecessary. Without it, GDM should just remember which one you used last time, and sometimes does anyway for some reason. Doesn’t really matter but just noticed it.

You should see my personal notes on GNOME :rofl:
