[Gambas-user] First look at Gambas 3

[Michael]

Hi Benoit,
Sorry to bother you again. I have installed QtConfig and found I could 
change my default 'Background' color, which I did to HD3DFEB. This then 
appeared in my Gambas3 color dialog but the behaviour is very different 
with QT4 and GTK components. This explains my earlier problem with 
different color palettes for Gambas 2 and 3. I am guessing that QT 
configures itself to the system palette at the time of installation and 
does not reconfigure when your theme is changed. Hence the need for 
QTConfig.
The other thing I discovered is that, if you change the system colors in 
the QT color dialog then they only work for QT components. GTK 
components will use the OS color scheme unless you specify a Custom 
color in the color dialog.
SO I understand how it works and can work around any problems.
Perhaps, as a newcomer to Gambas, you can explain why we have GTK and QT 
libraries as they seem to duplicate each other. Is it just personal 
choice? I used QT in Gambas 2 as I needed the Printer object but I 
switched to GTK in Gambas3.
Regards
Michael
