Calibre 0.6.10 LAF
I have updated my jaunty box to 0.6.10 using the binary install. Calibre does no longer look like a gtk application, the qt fonts and widgets are absolutely odd (similar to the bitrock installer). Very small and bold fonts, and 1970s square widgets. Where can I download the previous version?
By the way, I love Calibre. S. |

Run qt-config on your box and choose a proper Qt theme.

Thanks for your quick reply... I have already changed the qt theme to gtk. All qt applications adhere to the selected theme other than calibre. I guess this is a dependency to qt 4.5.1 (jaunty is still on 4.5). I am afraid I cannot install from source as the packages are not available from source.
I need to go back to the previous version. Do you have a direct link to the binary? Thanks Last edited by stamp; 08-28-2009 at 02:14 PM. |

It was strange that Calibre was the only QT application that did not take the current ubuntu theme (GTK in this case). I played with a virtual machine, installed QT4.5.2, compiled gtkstyle, and still no luck.
And then... after replacing the libQtGui.so.4 shipped with Calibre, it is all back to normal... Calibre and GTK seem to get along. Cheers for your help. |
