QT APPS theming

  • This is for those who have installed hyprland alongside kde/plasma

  • by default QT apps theming are done by kvantum-manager through qt5ct / qt6ct

  • if you want to use the themes you have set on your plasma, you need to edit the ENV-Variables

  • edit ~/.config/hypr/UserConfigs/ENVariables.conf

  • edit these two lines

env = QT_QPA_PLATFORMTHEME,qt5ct
env = QT_QPA_PLATFORMTHEME,qt6ct
  • look like this
env = QT_QPA_PLATFORMTHEME,kde
#env = QT_QPA_PLATFORMTHEME,qt6ct

you may also try to edit this

env = XDG_CURRENT_DESKTOP,Hyprland
env = XDG_SESSION_DESKTOP,Hyprland

to look like this

env = XDG_CURRENT_DESKTOP,kde
env = XDG_SESSION_DESKTOP,kde
possibly add:
env = QT_STYLE_OVERRIDE,Breeze 
note:
Breeze is your theme

Please take note that these are information I have gathered from reddit.

I have not tried since I only have hyprland on my system

  • Option 2, Use / launch kvantum-manager
