[Feature Request] QT6 support

[alba4k]

is there any likelyhood of this supporting QT6 in the near future, e.g. using qt6ct, where it currently doesnt even show up (unlike qt5ct, which works as expected)?

[boehs]

I'm not looking forward to it but I'm probably going to end up porting it on my fork after 5.27

[alba4k]

@boehs that sounds great

in case it's not merged with the mainline, I could maintain a separate aur package lightly-qt6-git or smth if you'd like, since a lot of people would find that helpful

I am working on gaining permissions on this repository, or if that fails, the AUR package

However it goes, let me know how this ends :)

@Luwx just made some commits in another repository not too long ago. Wonder why he didn't make any statement regarding the continuity of this project, or at least giving some contributors greater access to manage this repository.

[alba4k]

Yeah, exactly like there are multiple pull requests just fixing typos in README.md that got no answer

[vollowx]

QT6 and qt6ct are already out for months, but the author still didn't do anything, could you please make a QT6 version of lightly?

[alba4k]

Maybe @boehs has made some progress?

I am not a C++ developer nor a QT developer but I have been tinkering around in the source code in my free time. I have a version of it that isn't compiling yet but I could publish it to my GitHub if anyone wants to try helping me out with it?

Sure, there will always be persons that need QT6 version of this and glad to help.

@volpan here it is. I am now like 75% of the way there(ish) on my hacky version of doing so (without X11 support as well because idk why X11Extras dont work on my system)

I finally succeeded to make a hacky build with Qt6 and KF6 but without X11 (no X11Extras in Qt6)

Now i have to test it with plasma6 and hope to have no issues..

[alba4k]

@Kara-Zor-El I have tried compiling and installing your fork (using the instructions in the aur pkgbuild) but Lightly does not seem to show up as an option in qt6ct..

[edpil02]

My Qt6 port of lightly seems to work with alpha version of plasma 6

[alba4k]

Mind explaining how to get this working (with qt6ct)? :P

[mak448a]

@edpil02 Can you share the source code?

[dhruv8sh]

Updates on this?

[boehs]

x-post from boehs/Lightly, but would people be interested on placing a bounty on this feature?
