I realize this is an old thread but it fits my situation.

what I'd like to find out is if you or anyone knows exactly what in qt 4.7+ breaks some gtk themes? I'd like to fix/update my theme if possible.
with calibre bin pkg up to r0.7.27 I get the gtk theme's scrollbar, button and other graphical effects (all the png elements in the theme); with r0.7.28+ I only get the theme's color treatments which from what I can tell is when calibre switched to qt 4.7.3.
I've done a lot of searching to see if there are tweaks I can make to the gtk theme but I'm not getting anywhere.
or I could build calibre from source as your subsequent post here mentions but given I'd only have qt and other calibre deps installed long enough to compile calibre I'd like to create a binary/standalone calibre (which the src INSTALL readme doesn't appear to go into) - did I misread in a calibre faq/doc that you said trying to do that would be very difficult? or did you just mean for a windows user it would be too difficult?
thanks.
