I’ve tried TONS of solutions, not a single one worked ;(
I just want to change the application style to kvantum. For now, I use MenuLibre to add -style kvantum to everything, but it’s obviously inconvenient. Any help appreciated.

Don’t tell me to use the GTK2 style btw, it’s broken with every dark theme I’ve tried, including pocillo-dark
I want to use kvantum anyways

You will need to unset the environment variable in the picture via you home .bashrc

unset QT_STYLE_OVERRIDE?
Or unset QT_QPA_PLATFORMTHEME?
Or both?
In addition, this is Zsh, so I’ll use .zshrc.
However, if I remember correctly, the .zshrc/.bashrc only opens after a terminal is open, and applies only to the terminal session.

The message says to unset one variable and set the other.

I have never used .zsh but wherever you define environment variables for ash you need todo the above.

5

Okay, I’ll do that, but as I said, .bashrc and it’s zsh counterpart execute when the shell is opened, so should I set it in /etc/environment instead?

.profile is probably better since it is local to your session rather than system wide

right, right. thanks

So here’s what I did:

  1. add unset QT_STYLE_OVERRIDE; QT_QPA_PLATFORMTHEME=qt5ct to ~/.profile
  2. Do the same to /etc/environment (if you want it system wide)
  3. profit
