Does anyone know if it's possible to use a TDE theme/color scheme in Qt5 applications? All my Qt5 applications look so jarring. I try to use Qt5 as little as possible (because I prefer Tqt and gtk2) but there's a few applications I use such as KeepassXC and Mupen64plus-qt that use Qt5.

We keep getting that question, so there are two or three threads in the mailing list history which deal with it.
Search the list for the heading "GTK 3 TQt Engine Styles", and from there you can find other links. This sounds like what you want.

Yes, I had actually made this post. But it was regarding how GTK3 looks via the TQt-GTK3 engine, not how to get consistent theming for Qt5. I've looked that up already but couldn't find much on Qt5 in relation to TQt.
I can use Qt5ct but I don't think it's possible to use TDE themes in it.
The solution mentioned did involve qt5ct, as well as the gtk2-tqt-engine and the gtk2 style plugin for Qt5. You set your Gtk+2 theme to "Qt" and set qt5ct to use "Gtk+" as theme. Hope this helps, and maybe we should put this on the wiki to make it easily findable.

Please. I begin to think that there is an echo in here.

I second that. Questions that keep coming up over and over need to be written up in the Wiki. (That irritating migration startup message also comes to mind.)

So I just created a special wiki page for commonly repeated questions of this mailing list (such as the one of this thread).
https://wiki.trinitydesktop.org/User_FAQ
Right now it contains only one question, the one concerning using TQt/Trinity styles with non-TDE applications/toolkits. Of course you can contribute to it, or suggest question/answer pairs or threads for inclusion.
Hope this makes things a little better.

There is the page Tips and Tricks that was created long ago for collecting things like this. Maybe we should merge it there? https://wiki.trinitydesktop.org/Tips_And_Tricks

I thought the distinction was enough (questions in FAQ, "tricks" description in Tips and Tricks). This is also why I have put a link on the Tips and Tricks page to User FAQ. If we were to merge these two, which IMO is not a good idea, it would probably go the other way round (Tips and Tricks into the FAQ). FAQs could also be created for other groups (e.g. developers) if needed.
I'm of course open to suggestions. What do you think of what I just described?

I remember Tips and Tricks was born to collect questions and tips from user, but it has now grown quite a bit. It may make more sense to have separate pages for FAQ and T-n-T. The important point is that they are easily reachable from the users, so that they don't miss one of them :-)

Oh, my apologies then. I completely overlooked it, I even browsed through the whole thread on the archive but I guess I wasn't thinking that the gtk2-tqt-engine was usable at all for something like this. :-)
