Theme and pausing situation in version 5.x.x

[rchltmedia-codeviewer]

i've updated qBittorrent in all devices & i've noticed something has been changed.

1. qBittorrent Windows client no longer uses native theme used in pre-5.x.x version
2. Pause now referred as Stop.

anyone know how to revert to native theme? if isn't possible, please add it, i've open a issue later.
also, why renaming pause to stop?

answers are appreciated.

Everything's already been mentioned and discussed multiple times, it's pointless to create extra duplicates.

So please do use search to avoid creating anything more.

1. qBittorrent Windows client no longer uses native theme used in pre-5.x.x version.

For me and many others it's the opposite, v5 uses more native OS theme and colors change automatically if you modify Windows settings. Previously you had to use workarounds to force qBittorrent to open with certain look.

The way qBittorrent looks also depends on what exact OS and Qt versions you're using, so things can change in the future.

When v5.0.1 is officially released, then you do get extra built-in qBittorrent options to choose the Windows Qt provided style, then do restart qBittorrent and qBittorrent will look almost identical to previous versions if you picked correct style. Old built-in Qt style do have issues and I wouldn't call it native.

How to revert to native theme?

If you want qBittorrent to look very similar as before and can't wait for v5.0.1 to be available for everyone, then various current options are mentioned here:

• Is there any way to disable dark mode on qBittorrent v5.0 ? #21419

• How i can change theme to white on 5.0.0 qbittorrent? #21425

• Need way to switch between Dark and Light Mode regardless of System Mode #21421

2. Pause now referred as Stop.

Yes, that's how it should be and it was even mentioned in the news page and changelog.

Why renaming pause to stop?

To avoid confusion with many new settings and be more obvious what it really does.

Previously you had option to pause and start all, now you can pause or resume entire session and keep your stopped torrents stay stopped and not be forced to resume everything.

Now you can also save a lot of resources and time from reloading everything if you only wish to temporarily stop torrenting, previously you had to exit to really stop and then reopen afterwards.

• qBittorrent 5.0.0 is missing Edit > Pause All and Resume All #21446

If this helps then do consider editing your current discussion thread to be Q&A instead of keeping it as General and then you can mark specific comments as an answer, otherwise it's not obvious if you're still waiting for a suitable answer.
