Description Roberto 2023-08-15 08:47:03 UTC 
I  have some script enabled in cron (as my user, not root) which run kdialog to notice me in case of errors. However the dialog occurs to use light theme even if I'm using Breeze-dark in plasma.

Also, I cannot use the `--platformtheme` option in kdialog:

$ kdialog --platformtheme breeze-dark --msgbox "HELLO"
kdialog: Unknown option 'platformtheme'.

How should I set dark theme in scripts running in cron?

STEPS TO REPRODUCE
1.  set a user script in crontab, which calls kdialog
2. wait that the script runs

OBSERVED RESULT
the window message is using standard (light) theme

EXPECTED RESULT
the window message should be using the user's theme
