It's actually quite simple: qApp- setPalette(KColorScheme::createApplicationPalette(KSharedConfig::openConfig())); unfortunately it's a tier3 framework (kconfigwidgets) so probably unsuited for LXQt. Hopefully we will soon have the diagram showing the inter-dependencies of all frameworks. Could be that this only depends on KConfig.

Well, I was using these with qtcurve-qt selected in the qtconfig-qt4. On Thursday, October 31, 2013 5:30:49 PM UTC+2, TabletHater wrote: Thank you.
