Fedora Workstation has long maintained the QGnomePlatform and Adwaita-qt projects for applying a GNOME/GTK-like interface and styling to Qt applications in order to enhance the experience.
However, to reduce the maintenance burden and the ongoing technical debt, Fedora Workstation 39 is planning to eliminate the custom Qt theming and just rely on Qt upstream.
Jan Grulich of Red Hat laid out plans to eliminate the custom Qt theming of Fedora Workstation.
QGnomePlatfrom and Adqaita-qt will be dropped from Fedora Workstation along with associated custom patches to Qt.
Jan Grulich also wrote a blog post outlining the planned work around Q theming in Fedora Workstation.
This includes working on QAdwaitaDecorations itself for Fedora 39 and back-porting the QGtkTheme improvements from Qt5 to Qt5.
