Lazarus Dark theme...

[jex]

If build lazarus with qt5 for windows and using https://github.com/doublecmd/doublecmd/blob/master/src/platform/win/udarkstyle.pas you can get a dark theme

Can you please provide steps on how to achieve that or maybe release a compiled binary?

Copy darklazqt5/lazarus to your lazarus directory (this contains 64bit qt dll and udarkstyle.pas)
Apply darklazqt5/lazarus.pp.patch
Build Lazarus with qt5 widget type

contains only 64bit dll

Perfect! Thank you so much for the help!
Got it working, looks great.

More info that might help others, I also used "Delphi IDE Theme Editor" tool and using "yggdrasil" theme.
What it means to "Apply lazarus.pp.patch" is that you need Git, copy the patch file to the lazarus installation folder and use CMD to get to the same folder and use "git apply lazarus.pp.patch" and that's it. Now launch lazarus normally. To get docked style IDE, I used these packages packages (from menu Packages Install/Uninstall packages): "AnchorDocking 1.0," "AnchorDockingDsgn 1.0" and "DockedFormEditor 0.0".

If you try to compile a project you may get an error if you don't have qt5 installed, you can use LCL by going to Project options > Config and targets > I chose win32 wigetset because I'm on Windows. --- Waiting for M$ implements an actual win32 GLOBAL dark theme 

Hope this helps.

Hi,

I'm trying to build lazarus v2.2.0 with qt5 following your advice.
Unfortunately I'm having this issue when trying to build:

Code: Text  [Select][+][-]

1. glqtcontext.pas(25,57) Fatal: Can't find unit X used by GLQTContext

probably related to this https://gitlab.com/freepascal.org/lazarus/lazarus/-/issues/38969, but if so how were you able to build it?
Do I need another version of Lazarus?
Maybe works only on 32bit (downloading now to try)?

I appreciate any help

Update:
I'm able to build the 32 bit version but when running lazarus.exe i get a Qt5Network.dll not found. I'm now downloading Qt following this wiki https://wiki.freepascal.org/Qt5_Interface

LazOpenGLContext support only GLX, not true qt opengl control. this is old issue((

Only uninstall LazOpenGLContext((

Thanks zamtmn for your reply.

I was able to build and run the 32 bit version with qt.
Now I have to figure out how to enable dark mode in windows 11 (I've tested on a win 10 machine and works fine).

Well, using this defintely works! I think that on windows 11 os dark mode is not detected correctly (my guess).

For some reason opening the online package manager makes the IDE crash, but its a minor thing. I can easily install packages manually.

Thank you so much! Maybe one day we will have an out of the box solution.

Can you provide the "yggdrasil" theme?

Couldn´t find it.

Where can I find up to date dlls?
Is there a official repository for 64bit dlls?
