Hi Folks,
the update I made today changed the look of my favorite apps.

I use the xfce installation and got also some KDE apps.
My doublecmd changed to qt and loses my lovley theme style.
My krusader changed to, I guess, to QT6 and is now not usable anymore.

Hi,
I had a Double Commander with gtk and after my last update, it’s changed to QT5. Unfortunataly it has no dark mode and my XFCE wont use QT themes.
I wrote another thread about that:

How can I ust QT themes in XFCE?

No homogeneous theming since GTK4 and libadwaita?

Latest version of Manjaro Xfce includes kvantum and qt5ct for managing QT themes

The default ~/.profile created from /etc/skel/ at installation includes:

export QT_QPA_PLATFORMTHEME="qt5ct"

and QT5 settings (qt5ct) Style: is set to kvantum

So Xfce user should only need to change QT theme in kvantum to match Gtk theme

Dark theme is applied to not al Qt apps (have tried qt5ct and Kvantum) - #2 by bogdancovaciu

If users want more simplicity than Manjaro defaults described in post#5, they can use kvantum only:

to use Kvantum only, without the qt5ct aka Qt5Settings, then only use that line:

export QT_STYLE_OVERRIDE="kvantum"

Then from Kvantum Manager you set your theme.

I had the env „export QT_QPA_PLATFORMTHEME=“qt5ct”“ at my .profile, but it has no effect. After I put it‘s to .bash_Profile and it Looks Good.

It is good

Previous quoted comments were from 2 years ago and do not include change from last year

It seems my ~/.profile is not being used anymore?

Forum users have posted 3 different ways to resolve this:

  1. Copy configuration in ~/.profile to ~/.bash_profile

I actually wrote a very thorough tutorial for such problems
