You wait for Plasma 5.19 when it will be released, or apply it yourself and compile a Plasma session from source, per https://community.kde.org/Get_Involved/development

This issue persists on Plasma 5.19 beta. :(
Affected gtk2 apps on my system:

leafpad text editor
pinta photo editor
HexChat
pidgin
artha
StarDict
WoeUSB

Which bug? The fact that GTK2 apps don't follow the color scheme? We found that it's basically unfixable due to the way GTK2 was designed. :(

These apps need to migrate to using a non-ancient toolkit.
