QT Theme

[LinusDierheimer]

Since version 108, Chrome allows to use QT as an alternative theme provider to GTK: https://bugs.chromium.org/p/chromium/issues/detail?id=1317782. You might still need to pass the flag --enable-features=AllowQt tho.

On native chrome, this does work really well. On flatpak, clicking the Use QT button under Settings -> Theme does nothing. There is no usefull log, but strace shows that it is trying to dlopen a lot of qt libs that are missing from the flatpak.

I think QT should be shipped with the flatpak too, because it integrates much better with the KDE Plasma desktop, which is widley used.

I hope this is fixed soon

Update: --enable-features=AllowQt is no longer needed, QT is enabled by default now, and chrome even prefers QT on KDE by default now. So this is even more important.

So this bug report should be closed?

No, it now effects every user on QT based desktops, not just user who explicitly enabled support for QT in chrome. Much more users will now see the disadvantage of the flatpak over native chrome versions.
