KDE QT applications icon size doubled

Programs like Krita and Gwenview that use KDE's QT library for their GUI display their icons and text boxes about twice as large as they should be.
I know this is because I have a 4k laptop screen and use DWM as a window manager.
To clarify, these applications aren't having this problem internally, when I start the KDE Plasma desktop, all four apps shown below display their GUI's at the proper size.
This leads me to believe there's some flag that is being set when the Plasma desktop starts that I now need to manually set when I start DWM.
Does anyone know how to fix this?

KDE has environment options for these and might already be loading/applying them, compare printenv in the two environments
