Specific environment variables when logging into Gnome

Support Gnome
1

I wish my /etc/environment file had this when I login into Gnome:

QT_AUTO_SCREEN_SCALE_FACTOR=1
QT_QPA_PLATFORMTHEME=gnome
QT_STYLE_OVERRIDE=kvantum

And this, when I Iogin into another window manager:

QT_QPA_PLATFORMTHEME=qt5ct
QT_AUTO_SCREEN_SCALE_FACTOR=0

I guess it should be possible to do that using ~/.xinitrc :thinking:

if [[  "$DESKTOP_SESSION" == gnome ]]; then
    QT_AUTO_SCREEN_SCALE_FACTOR=1
    QT_QPA_PLATFORMTHEME=gnome
    QT_STYLE_OVERRIDE=kvantum
else
   QT_QPA_PLATFORMTHEME=qt5ct
   QT_AUTO_SCREEN_SCALE_FACTOR=0
fi

Put it to your xinitrc, bashrc, zshrc or somewhere.

I would think DM might be the best place?

I’ve added it into xprofile. It worked.
