12. QGnome Platform
When apps look as similar as possible, they’re easier to use. Ideally, whether apps
are designed for GNOME or KDE, they’d look the same. But different toolkits, such
as Qt for KDE, need extra theme information to look like they’re part of the same
environment. Contributors have been working to solve this issue for a while now.
Qgnome Platform is a new project that helps by synchronizing settings between
GNOME and newer Qt tools. Now when you change font settings in GNOME
Tweak Tool, the change shows up in Qt-5 based applications, too. Qgnome
Platform plans to grow over time to sync other settings.
