Don't know if this will help at all. The solution is intended more for non-TDE applications, to get them to accept the chosen TDE color scheme. Moreover, it works great on some non-TDE applications (e.g., OpenOffice, Psi-Plus, PaleMoon browser), but doesn't work on others at all (e.g., LibreOffice, Firefox, Icecat, Seamonkey, and many others). This is for me a matter of legibility; I literally cannot *see* the fonts in most newer applications, because they aren't designed with older folks in mind. I sometimes get up almost nose-close to the screen, and still have trouble making out the names in menus.
For what it's worth, I have been using my same color scheme, menus, font sizes, etc. -- almost exactly identical, with only some tweaks along the way -- since KDE3 days, about 2006 or so. I created my own color scheme, examples of which you can find on TDE's screenshots page. I don't use any prefabricated themes.
Nevertheless, you may find that it helps you; if not to solve the present issue, then maybe somewhere down the way, for some other issue.
Search the Trinity mailing list for the heading "GTK 3 TQt Engine Styles"; I think that there are also two or three other threads on the same topic, under different headings.

If you do go this route at some point, remember the last step, which is essential: sudo sh -c "echo 'export QT_QPA_PLATFORMTHEME=qt5ct' >> /etc/environment" Then, if memory serves, reboot.
The instructions work for Devuan, or probably any Debian-type system.
