I agree that pkexec is the current best practice. You will need to make a pkexec file for the programs if they do not have one, though. I am not sure though if systemd is replacing PolicyKit (they've replaced many many many things). So this may be a temporary solution (should work for a few years at least). Aere, I did some looking around and Arch (as per usual) has a really helpful page about this https://wiki.archlinux.org/index.php/Uniform_look_for_Qt_and_GTK_applications#QGtkStyle tl;dr If they are Qt4 apps echo "[Qt] style=GTK+" >> ~/.config/Trolltech.conf If they are Qt5 sudo apt install qt5-style-plugins Then you need to set this variable (so I am adding it to the xinitrc) |echo "QT_QPA_PLATFORMTHEME=gtk2" >> .~/xinitrc| This should get you back on track :D -- Regards
