Somewhere ... somewhere ... there are at least 3 or 4 separate threads that discuss this issue, or what I believe to be the issue that you're discussing. A few of us have, in the past, recommended adding the gist of this information to our help pages, as it begins to seem like there is an echo in here. The rest of this post is copied from earlier posts, and consolidated here. Bill P.S. how to For these instructions, I will assume that you are running Debian or Devuan or a similar OS. If it is not a deb system, then, you will need to adjust accordingly. But from what I have heard from others, these steps ought to work. It may be that some things have changed or been upgraded, but aptitude, for instance, will tell you that. #1, using apt-get, aptitude, synaptic, or however you install packages, you want to get these: qt5ct qt5-assistant qca-qt5-2-utils qdbus-qt5 qdoc-qt5 qps qt5-default* qt5-flatpak-platformtheme qt5-gtk-platformtheme qt5-image-formats-plugins qt5-qmake qt5-qmake-bin qt5-qmltooling-plugins qt5-style-plugins 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: 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!
