[Gambas-user] Webbrowser without gb.qt4??

[gian]

Hello Wolfang,

I do not have answers on the specific problem.

I guess you used gb.gui in Linux with GTK.

I use Ubuntu 14:04 and I have studied the problem in my own way GTK vs QT.

You can remedy with a few small tricks, some steps in these simple 
sample applications.

I recommend to include some tricks and change your gb.gui to gb.gtk.

GTK_Graphics has been tested on Linux with KDE and it works well.

Ciao gianluigi

>>> Without going into specifics, your comment "If I drop gb.gui to use gb.qt4.webkit (and gb.qt4)I get different looking forms and  my program does no longer work." rings like a similar bell here too.  We are currently changing all our gb.gui projects to gb.qt4 in order to alleviate user complaints about the gtk situation across various distros. So:
