since I'm using a wayland + sway setup, and have a personal preference for 
light themes,
I can not provide a lot of advice without further research and testing.

What I could find with a quick search was that there is
a) qt6-gtk-platformtheme package which might help to have it installed
b) setting env variable QT_QPA_PLATFORMTHEME=gtk3

For a) I would assume an `apt install qt6-gtk-platformtheme` and restart of vym 
is enough to test.
b) requires starting from a terminal, and to be sure run `export 
QT_QPA_PLATFORMTHEME=gtk3; vym`.
