Qt5 KeepassXC on Plasma6 - menu missing + theme broken when restarting

[thomas85]

I’d like to use KeepassXC on my Plasma6 desktop, but first it’s missing it’s menu (not shown in the global menu widget) and second if I manually quit and restart it (have it autostarted) it’s theme is not dark anymore.

I did install plasma5-integration as suggested here and here but that didn’t improve the situation.
I reinstalled frameworkintegration5 which I removed on a suggestion by user @linux-aarhus in this thread, but at least without rebooting that didn’t change anything either.

This is how it looks like when opening the autostarted tray icon:

And this is how it looks when I quit the autostarted version and start it anew:

I want it to always look like the first version, but I also want to have the menu accessible somehow.

As Qt5 is not gone and a lot of applications is built using Qt5 you may need packages to bridge the gap.

What was suggested in the topic mentioned was to possibly find the cause of a specific issue and was suggested based on experiments with my Plasma 6.1 system.

You are of course free add back packages which is needed for bridging e.g. theming for a given applicationi.

A test installation of keepasxc on my Plasma system does show menu and correct theming.

I suggest checking the config in ~/.config/keepassxc/keepassxc.ini

The classic theme adjust for system default - if dark system then dark app

[General]
ConfigVersion=2

[GUI]
ApplicationTheme=classic
HideMenubar={true|false}

[PasswordGenerator]
AdditionalChars=
ExcludedChars=

It seems there is four to choose from

[GUI]
ApplicationTheme={auto,dark,light,classic}

Click on the → on General tab scroll down → Reset settings to default…

You can check the ini file after changing a configuration in the UI - see what is stored.

Thank you for amazing help!

Adding ApplicationTheme=dark to that file makes KeepassXC look as it does in my first screenshot, even if I quit and restart it after it has been autostarted.

I’ve tried the other options you’ve mentioned too. classic looks old (duh.) but correctly detects (or defaults to) my dark system theme, auto doesn’t and displays the same as light.

You don’t by some miracle also have a suggestion on how to get the missing menu accessible somehow on my plasma6 desktop?

Not a miracle - I posted it above

@linux-aarhus

[GUI]
ApplicationTheme=classic
HideMenubar={true|false}

ohhh, so sorry, I missed that. Tried it, sadly it makes no difference if I add it and if it’s set to true or false.

Also I just found libreoffice calc is also missing the menu bar

UPDATE: I just had the idea to try remove the global menu widget from my panel and logout and login again, this makes the menu bars visible on both applications. So no global menu bar widget, I can live with that.
