I'm trying to set a different Qt style while running Xfce, but the option isn't available even though the "XDG_CURRENT_DESKTOP=KDE" environment variable is set.
I'm following the instructions from Arch Linux Wiki.

Do you have the plasma5-desktop package installed? This package offers the Plasma kcm modules.
Comment 2 LaserMoai 2017-01-11 00:51:00 UTC 
No. I don't want to install 156 MB just for proper theming though, so nevermind.
Kind of ridiculous Qt5 doesn't have a straightforward color scheme setting.
Comment 4 LaserMoai 2017-01-11 01:16:01 UTC 
Yeah, I've already posted that link.
Comment 5 Christoph Feck 2017-01-11 01:20:49 UTC 
Oh okey. Then you misunderstood it. To change the Qt5 configuration, you either have to use the tools provided by Plasma, or the qt5ct tool.

"Missing icons" refers to themed icons in applications, not modules in system settings.
Comment 6 LaserMoai 2017-01-11 01:29:47 UTC 
I'm trying systemsettings because color schemes in qt5ct proved to be rather finicky. 
I never thought it didn't.
