We are working on the Qt5 version of TeXmacs (as well as a Qt6 one). Various modifications had to be made to make the interface look good on different operating systems; some of these modifications also impact the Qt4 version, which is also provided for testing and reference. Please post feedback on the texmacs-dev mailing list.

Experimental Qt4 packages

GNU/Linux

TeXmacs-2.1-QT4-r13790-x86_64-pc-linux-gnu-B.tar.gz

MacOS

TeXmacs-2.1-QT4-r13816-os10.10.dmg

Windows

TeXmacs-2.1-QT4-r13816-installer.exe

Experimental Qt5 packages

GNU/Linux

TeXmacs-2.1-QT5-r13767-x86_64-pc-linux-gnu-B.tar.gz

MacOS

TeXmacs-2.1-QT5-r13816-os10.10.dmg

Windows

TeXmacs-2.1-QT5-r13815-installer.exe

Note. The GNU/Linux packages are static binaries that should work for most distributions. They should be installed in the same way as the usual static binary distributions. Note that the Qt5 is still extremely experimental; there are currently some problems with some system libraries (in fact, the distributions are mostly static, but not entirely).

Note. Using Edit→Preferences→User interface theme, you may now select a “theme” among the following possibilities:

Light

A standard “light” appearance that is approximately the same on all operating systems. This is the default theme under GNU/Linux and Windows.

Dark

The “dark” counterpart for the previous theme.

Native

A theme that attempts to adopt as much as possible the native look and feel of graphical interfaces for your operating system. This is the default theme under MacOS.

Legacy

Close to the implementation that we had before the introduction of themes. We hope to remove this theme as soon as the new themes are sufficiently stable.

Note. Some known problems:

• Under MacOS, when using the native menu bars (Edit→Preferences→Other→Use native menubar), frequent segfaults tend to occur.

• There is an annoying issue with “QComboBoxes”. For instance, in the font browser (Document→Font), in the bottom-left Standard popup menu, the vertical spacing between the items is insufficient.

• Contrary to Qt4, the vertical scrollbar is regarded as part of the canvas during size computations, which leads to incorrect behaviour when the width of the document is close to the width of yhe canvas.
