[p4] Fwd: p4v 2007.3 and Qt "styles"

[Arnt Gulbrandsen]

Hm... sounds like support either didn't know about Qt settings even 
though there is an enhancement request, or p4v goes to some length to 
disable Qt's settings code. The former sounds odd, the latter very much 
so.

Qt applications generally look for settings in several files. In p4v's 
case I would expect it to look in /etc/qtrc, ~/.qt/qtrc and 
~/.p4v/something, and it might create one or more of those files too.

These files are (mostly) ASCII, you can edit them with a text editor. 
You want to set the [General] style setting to Windows, like this:

     [General]
     style=Windows

You may also find that you have a program called qtconfig. If you do, 
you can use it to configure this and a few other aspects of Qt.

On Windows, all this is stored in the registry. On the Mac it's carbon 
preferences. If you want it on mac/windows I'd try installing qtconfig 
and looking to see which precise registry setting or carbon preference 
setting qtconfig changes.
