Solution: Uniform Qt-Gtk GUI for Arch

Quote from: https://wiki.archlinux.org/index.php/Uniform_look_for_Qt_and_GTK_applications#QGtkStyle
Note: QGtkStyle has been removed from qt5-base 5.7.0 [1] and added to qt5-styleplugins AUR
If you have problems with Otter (or any other Qt app) not respecting Gtk style, Arch and Manjaro users have to install qt5-styleplugins which will connect the necessary dots between Qt and Gtk automatically.

You can set environment variables globally in xinitrc, see https://wiki.archlinux.org/index.php/Environment_variables#Graphical_applications

Code: [Select]
#~/.xinitrc

export QT_QPA_PLATFORMTHEME=gtk2

Or you can run a Qt app with a specific setting to try it out.

Code: [Select]
QT_QPA_PLATFORMTHEME=gtk2 otter-browser
