            Bug ID: 130857
           Summary: Qt5 implement theming using native widgets (weld)
           Product: LibreOffice
           Version: 7.0.0.0.alpha0+ Master
          Hardware: All
                OS: All
            Status: UNCONFIRMED
          Severity: enhancement
          Priority: medium
         Component: graphics stack
          Assignee: libreoffice-bugs at lists.freedesktop.org
          Reporter: glogow at fbihome.de

Currently LO's qt5 / kf5 VCL backend just uses the QStyle interface to draw the
LO UI to look like native widgets. As a result, this has limits for various UI
designs rendered by native Qt style engines not exposed via that interface. 

Already a few years ago, Caolan started to introduce the new "weld" theming
interface, which uses native - in his case gtk+ - widgets, to get even better
GNOME integration.

Currently that API is very gtk+ specific, but this shouldn't prevent adaption
by the Qt backend in general.
