LibAdwaita Styled window decorations for Qt based applications [QAdwaitaPlatform]
Pull request. It was "rejected" because the maintainer wants to use LibDecor in a far future (how in far we dont know). Since November 2022, I just used this branch on my PC in the hope of QGnomePlatform port to LibDecor, and I didn't publish this branch anywhere. But I'm tired of waiting and uploaded this to AUR. I know, rewriting whole decoration is better, but i dont want to do it.

Some flatpak applications close when hovering over the window buttons. It only happens with qt applications
I can reproduce here on F37. It's probably a bug in QGnomePlatform. Removing the relevant version of org.kde.WaylandDecoration.QGnomePlatform-decoration fixes it, as does forcing the app to use X11.

An example of Gnome "cooperating" with KDE
On the other hand GNOME people are very happy about being able to theme Qt apps to look like Adwaita (See projects like Adwaita-Qt or QGnomePlatform)
