[qml+pyqt6] Can't get native control appearance

Just ask your questions without all the “ugh, why doesn’t this work?” drama or writing a novel. It will be much more effective at getting actionable answers. If that’s your goal, use the methods that will be most effective at getting you there.

My apologies for being so annoying when I was younger. It’s painful to read.

I’ve recently tried QML again, after ascertaining that it provides some platform-specific visual consistency, across platforms, that even QtWidgets can’t:

If I want to adhere to the platform styles, what's the best Qt stack?

I am now able to confirm that after installing all of the (few) relevant libraries via my distribution’s package manager on Plasma 6, Breeze’s QQuickStyle is applied to a PySide6 + QML application (at least, via dnf5, although zypper should be identical in this regard, for both superordinate rpm, and register to $PATH).

In retrospect, having the Fusion QQuickStyle forced could have been caused by using Qt 6 on Plasma 5, because Breeze wasn’t available even for QtWidgets Qt 6 applications back then. (However, it also could also have been caused by pip3.)

Module "org.kde.kirigami" is not installed

@Herzenschein, yeah, the solution appeared to be that pip3 didn’t export some libraries and executables to $PATH, whereas rpm did: If any of what @sameepvicky has stated is a solution, it’s hacky at best.

Plasma components are for Plasma widgets; don’t use them for apps or app-styled config windows.

Any idea whether that’ll remain true once Union has been released, or shall things like bugs.kde.org/show_bug.cgi?id=476996#c9 deliberately remain for backward compatibility? Seems a shame to reimplement useful components twice.
