My experience with Qt has been pretty much similar (the Qt app inherits the style of the platform/OS), with the one big exception. If my Qt app has it's own style information, that will take precedent over the inherited style. (See the Qt Styles Example .).
I had similar problem developing apps for KDE. As a solution I use setStyle(QString styleName) to override default qt style selection.
I cant really gove you an answer,but what I can give you is a way to a solution, that is you have to find the anglde that you relate to or peaks your interest. A good paper is one that people get drawn into because it reaches them ln some way.As for me WW11 to me, I think of the holocaust and the effect it had on the survivors, their families and those who stood by and did nothing until it was too late.
