You may want to check out these threads:
"how to force TDE colors in non-TDE apps?"
and especially the sequel:
"how to force TDE colors in non-TDE apps? SOLVED"
2021-01-18 or thereabouts
(an exchange mostly between E.Liddell and myself).
But here is the gist of it:
#######
I stumbled on a site:
https://askubuntu.com/questions/706528/qt-apps-stopped-inheriting-gtk-themes/748186#748186
https://web.archive.org/web/20201111174652/https://askubuntu.com/questions/706528/qt-apps-stopped-inheriting-gtk-themes/748186#748186
wherein are unlocked the mysteries of qt5ct in a single line.
*NOTE that other pages gave information which was either contradictory or at
least unclear, leaving me frustrated and unable to figure out where
in /home/<USER>/.profile to insert the line for qt. So for other Trinity
users out there who may want to use the look of their TDE and color outside
the lines when using non-TDE apps, this is what actually worked for me.*
After installing qt5ct and whatever other packages (more for developers), run
this command:
sudo sh -c "echo 'export QT_QPA_PLATFORMTHEME=gtk2' >> /etc/environment"
Open qt5ct and choose according to personal preferences, then reboot. The user
will now have TDE colors and themes in non-TDE applications. It will also run
gtk2 and gtk3, and lots of other good stuff. It seems like it will work for
other desktops, as well, as others say.
For most users, this will probably take care of their needs.

It sounds like this is what you're looking for. E.Liddell pointed me in this
direction, and the rest I nicked from the webpage mentioned above.
I hope this helps!
Bill
