i've just installed quartus 9.1, and surprised to find out that the color of quartus in linux so ugly.
photo(sorry that this is my first post so that i cannot post a image) in my previous experience, linux programme has its unique gui pattern, however this time , the gui looks rather like the programmes in win 95, with dark grey backgrounds. would anyone share a solution to fix it? THX!链接已复制

--- Quote Start --- There is no fix. That is the way it looks. It's not that bad, others vendors look uglier. How may years experience have you got with linux ? --- Quote End --- Huh, no more than half a year.;) It seems that every commercial software' GUI got to be unfriendlier than opensource softs. It could have done better:cool:
logicmd,
I use windows since Win95 and linux since 1998. I develop opensource software ( www.kdevelop.org ) and I use both opensource and comercial CAD software. I'm sorry but I really no not unserstand your point. Quartus has one of the nicest GUIs out there. And they even use Qt (the best GUI tookit ever).--- Quote Start --- logicmd, I use windows since Win95 and linux since 1998.

As I know, qt, as a cross platform GUI system, has a feature to make the GUI of a programme exactly like the local programmes, no matter in win 7 mac os or linux. However the menu style of quartus is not the modern linux style or rather to say it is much more like the windows style. The dark background of menu and toolbar makes it even like win98 or some older version. I don't know GUI of quartus is made by MainWin or Qt. However, if it is made by Qt, it takes a little modification to make it brighter, friendlier and consistent in style with other linux programme. Matlab is better in the aspect. I had installed it in linux and windows.
i don't remember any problems with MATLAB in Linux, but i thought Simulink was disappointing compared to the Windows version.
try the Qt version of Quartus with the qgui command. that is the future of Quartus (run with quartus command).--- Quote Start --- try the Qt version of Quartus with the qgui command. that is the future of Quartus (run with quartus command). --- Quote End --- ok~ so where can i find the Qt version of Quartus? i've google qt version of quartus or qt quartus, the first result came with this post, OMG
logicmd,
you're happy even though you can only really really ugly GUI, Because I could not boot it. It is not the quetion for this thread, However, please tell me the way to boot or the location of that. I installed quartus ii 9 into removable HDD, and it is mounted at /media/disk-10. I have made sure that quartus is installed at that, but I'm completely not sure where is the binary file to boot the developer. Thanks !ioriveur,
i'm now in windows system, and i remember the default installing location is /opt/altera9.10/ And the launch binary should be /opt/altera9.10/quartus/bin/quartus if I don't make a mistake. you said that you have installed it in a removable HDD? You had to at least remember the location you have installed. It should be in the similar place. HDD path is mostly located in /media/[HDD label name]/blabla(i'm ubuntu 9.10), if you locate the installing path, i'm sure you can launch quartus easily.thanks a lot, logicmd.
i could found the binary file, and it seems that it will start with gui. But something go on. I received message that, x could not start it. This is not blame of altera, but OpenSuSE. I googled it and make some efforts to resolve it, but failed. I have not boot it with sudo or so on. (many case is in su or sudo) And in the case of other application, sometime happen so, other case do not. I can not stand anymore to use it, because there were no such problems, when I used to use Debian or Ubuntu. I'll try to use other OS instead. thanks any way!after all, I installed Debian, (not k/freeBSD), and copy to /bin from SuSE's /bin/tcsh and csh.
It works, and it looks there no problems. So, I want to learn about VHDL, and try to LED-Blinker at first. And, the GUI, is not so ugly than what I imagined. Not beautiful, but clearly.
