[Paraview-developers] [EXTERNAL] Re: Using "fusion" style on OsX by default

[Moreland, Kenneth]

I agree that I like the fusion style better for the same reason as Alan. In fact, I remember complaining several years ago about how much space was introduced into the GUI during some library update or another.

My only reservation is that the tighter style might be more off-putting to new users (exaggerates the airplane-cockpit syndrome). However, the current GUI for the Windows executable looks just as tight, and that does not seem to be an issue. (According to download counts, windows users outnumber Mac and Linux by a large margin.)

Assuming fusion is on the right side, I also like that better.  What is important is that the fonts aren’t decreasing in size.  Ditto the icons.  We are just tightening up empty space.

I like the Fusion style a bit better. I think it would be a good idea to get input from somebody with poor vision.

Folks,

I wanted to see what people thought about using the "fusion" style (same in Linux) on OsX instead of the current OsX style used by Qt. Attached are screenshots compare the two styles on a Mac.

As you can see, "fusion" is more compact with more well aligned widgets. The Properties panel on both has been resized horizontally so that it is as minimum size possible before a horizontal scrollbar shows up. Note how wide it has to be with macOS style as against Fusion.
