Reacting to GNOME font changes
I want my Qt app to respont to changes in the GNOME font configuration dialog. Does anyone know/have any idea how to do this?
At the very worst, the GNOME font dialog must right it's fonts to a file (in the users home directory?). If someone could tell me what that file is, I could read this file at startup and set the font. Not the most elegant solution, I know
I have enough sense to know that "common sense" is an oxymoron.
RE: Reacting to GNOME font changes
Are you talking about ~/.gconf/desktop/gnome/interface/%gconf.xml file.
I know, Gnome is a real mess about file names and storage.
To follow in real time gnome desktop font changes, you could have some timer slot waiting for this file timestamp change and informing your app it has to change its mind about fonts....
Never patch not working code. Rewrite it !
Never patch badly designed classes. Recreate them cleanly.
