Qt5 will try to set the application GUI style to something system appropriate, which doesn't interfere with the theme on at least Gnome, although it fails to render as intended on Unity, Windows 7/10, and MacOS. Setting the default style to "Fusion" resolves this at least on Windows. Need to test for others.
See Qt5 documentation: https://doc.qt.io/qt-5/qapplication.html#setStyle-1
This PR also adds the
--style=
flag to novelWriter, so that the default can be overridden by the user. It forwards this flag to QApplication's-style=
flag. If the style isn't available, Qt5 handles this gracefully and just prints an error message and continues.This solves issue #95, at least for Windows. Other OSes need testing.
