problem between normal user and root look&field in n900
 

Hi!
I've a problem with look&feel in N900 when I run a QT app. When I'm developing it, the aspect of buttons,list,images,etc are different than when I install the deb package in the N900 and run it. Moreover, if I run the app like user is different than if I run it like root (with sudo gainroot before).
How can I fix it?
Thanks (and sorry for my english :P )

The easy answer: Don't run it as root. =)

The nicer answer: When running it as root: run-standalone.sh <program>

ok thanks, but the problem is that I want the "root aspect". My workmate had developed the app with QT in windows, and the look & feel by default was the "root aspect". When we run it in N900 the l&f is "user aspect" and all the buttons, list, etc are horrible compared to the other one.
I want to install de deb package in N900 to run the app in "root aspect" (without "chmod +s myapp" or something like this), or instead if there is another way to develop it with "user aspect".
(Sorry if my first explanation was wrong :P)
Thanks anyway!

What is "root aspect" exactly please? Note that there is nothing like "look and feel root aspect".

I think "root aspect" here means running with the Qt default theme rather than with the hildon theme.
But for just getting a certain look&feel no app should EVER run as root. It can be a security hole.

I did "GTK2_RC_FILES= <program>" as user to get the same look and all I can think is: Why the **** would you want that? Some of it looks unreadable and the whole look, overall, stupid.

that's right pycage. The default QT theme that we see developing our app is not the same that when we run it on N900 (what I called "user aspect"). But if I run it with root privileges, then the theme is the same as QT one (that's the "root aspect"). I don't want to run it as root, as I'd said of course, but the look&feel in QT is far better.
Thanks!
