I updated from klayout version 0.24.8 to 0.25.2. I notice the gui does no longer looks nice.
For instance all buttons (select etc.) used to be displayed with slightly rounded corners and now they are square. A screenshot would be nice but seems not possible in this forum.
Any idea what has changed since 0.25 that affects the user interface?
I use CentOS7 with Mate desktop.

Hi Theo,
you are always free to file an issue on GitHub at https://github.com/klayoutmatthias/klayout/issues. You can paste screenshots there among many other things.
I assume in your case Qt picks Windows style. Try "klayout -style CleanLooks" to force Qt using a specific style. Usually there is a tool called "qtconfig" by which you can select the default style Qt applications use. On Gnome, Qt tries to use Gtk+ style and blend into the window manager.
That's all beyond my influence. The details depend on your installation.

klayout -style CleanLooks works like a charm.
I also installed qtconfig-qt4 and used it to force CleanLooks as default GUI style.
Indeed now klayout also works without the -style option.
It does make me wonder why only klayout does not work out of the box.
Thanks for your help!
Hi Theo,
hard to say - I don't do something specific for the style. That's why qtconfig-qt4 is working. It's supposed to act on all Qt applications, so saying it has an effect on KLayout, means KLayout behaves as it's supposed to.
I know that on Gnome the Qt style detection sometimes fails. But that's related to incompatible Gtk libraries.
Kind regards,
Matthias
Hi guys,
'CleanLooks' really is smoother for eyes!
Are there more styles to choose from?
Thanks in advance,
Chris
