Hi,

I do not seem to get ProgressIndicator to work in Kubuntu Linux. The progress remains in zero position no matter what. In windows everything works OK with the same simple code.

progress1.Set(1,2);

More on this: The ProgressIndicator starts working OK if ProgressIndicator::Percent(true); is called to enable viewing of percentage of total completed.

I guess this should be looked at by somebody who knows about the internals, but for me this is not a high priority issue as I can accept having the percentage value visible.

Can you post a testcase? E.g. in theide, it seems to work.

Requires more investigation.

Actually it does not work on theide either. After selecting the main package there is e.g. Assist++ progress dialog which updates normally on windows but not on kubuntu 7.10.

I did some testing and noticed that changing the KDE System Settings / Appearance / GTK Styles from "Use my KDE style in GTK applications" to "Use another style: Raleigh" makes the progress bar to work again. Also the previously blank drop list buttons and scroll bar buttons become visible again. So, I think this is all about handling the situation when the GTK style is not recognized.
