No custom Qt theming for Fedora Workstation
This document represents a proposed Change. As part of the Changes process, proposals are publicly announced in order to receive community feedback. This proposal will only be implemented if approved by the Fedora Engineering Steering Committee.
Summary
Fedora Workstation has been using QGnomePlatform and Adwaita-qt projects to apply GNOME-like configuration and styling to Qt applications to match the environment. These projects are now in a state where they are outdated and semi-occasionally broken for some applications and it would be better to default to what Qt upstream has to offer.

Detailed Description
QGnomePlatform project is a Qt Platform Theme plugin. It reads GNOME configuration, like fonts or icons and applies this configuration to Qt applications. It also provides implementation of Client-Side Window Decorations or native dialogs. This project partially overlaps with Qt's default GTK Platform Theme plugin, but there are some additions that are existing only in QGnomePlatform, like Client-Side Window Decorations.
Adwaita-qt project is a Qt Style plugin. It implements widget styling (e.g. buttons, checkboxes) to match GNOME's Adwaita style. There is no equivalent of such style in Qt, but given the complexity of Qt Style plugins, this project is now outdated and doesn't match the current Adwaita (GTK4) style. It is also for the most of the issues users are facing while using our custom styling.
