Transmission-qt doesn't use the oxygen theme
I've installed transmission-qt and it's not using the oxygen theme.
Running qtconfig gives the error:
[bogdan@bogdan-arch ~]$ qtconfig
qtconfig: could not exec '/usr/lib/qt/bin/qtconfig': No such file or directory
[bogdan@bogdan-arch ~]$ whereis qtconfig
qtconfig: /usr/bin/qtconfig
[bogdan@bogdan-arch ~]$ /usr/bin/qtconfig
qtconfig: could not exec '/usr/lib/qt/bin/qtconfig': No such file or directory
[bogdan@bogdan-arch ~]$

Re: Transmission-qt doesn't use the oxygen theme
I don't have any input on this specific problem, but I think you want to run qtconfig-qt4.

Re: Transmission-qt doesn't use the oxygen theme
If you check dependancies, you'llnotice that transmission-qt uses qt5 now. Oxygen theme that's part of kde4 is built on top of qt4, and available only for qt4 apps. Qt5 version of Oxygen style will be avaliable when kde5 comes out.

Thanks! That worked but not for transmission.

So isn't there a way to force it to use qt4?

Simply, no. If an application needs qt5 to build and work, you cannot use something else.

This aur package might be worth a look.

Re: Transmission-qt doesn't use the oxygen theme
You could modify transmission PKGBUILD to use qt4 instead of qt5. Fedora has transmission-qt compiled with qt4 and oxygen theme works fine.
