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.
