You might also try installing the package qt5ct + dependencies. 

It's been a while since I used it, so I can't recall if it also helps to make 
icons compatible with gtk2 and gtk3, but it definitely helps to make many 
non-TDE applications use TDE color schemes. 

Be sure, however, after installing, to run this command: 
sudo sh -c "echo 'export QT_QPA_PLATFORMTHEME=qt5ct' >> /etc/environment"
then reboot.
