Dark mode Wireshark and Manjaro setting

[terashy88]

How is the right way to have Dark mode on Wireshark and Manjaro Setting?

So far, I only get it to work with QT_STYLE_OVERRIDE="kvantum-dark" wireshark and QT_STYLE_OVERRIDE="kvantum-dark" manjaro-settings-manager

qt6ct ?

Yes, I realize it’s work as well on qt5ct and qt6ct, but only in the Terminal.
Starting these Programs in the menu with PATH to /usr/bin/wireshark don’t respect Dark mode on my end.

There is no one “right way”, unfortunately. Using Qt5Ct and Kvantum is one way that works as you noticed. Another way is using QGnomePlatform, but it only works well with Adwaita or themes based on it.

Example: This is what Wireshark looks like on GNOME using QGnomePlatform with the Adw-dark theme using the default blue accent color:

Not much different with the Manjaro KvLibadwaitaMaiaDark Kvantum theme:

qt6ct ?

Did you mean qt5ct? wireshark-qt depends on Qt 5.

QGnomePlatform

Thanks, yes qgnomeplatform-qt5 did the trick. And I was also shock that it also works on qt6ct

it’s works fine on manjaro-settings-manager as well

[Yochanan]

Yes, QGnomePlatform supports both Qt 5 & Qt 6. It’s developed by Fedora and (slowly) keeps improving.
