[Solved] Kde4 theme on plasma-next

Hi
         I  Installed plasma-next kf5 and so on today. Since the kde base apps like dolphin and kate and konsole weren't available on qt5 I install ed the kde4 versions of them. No matter what I change the theme to those qt4 apps are stuck on oxygen. I have breeze-kde4 installed. Gtk2 and Gtk3 have no issues. Whenever I open dolphin it sticks out like a sore thumb.

I have tried deleting the .kde folder to no effect.

I don't have testing repos enabled BUT I have the opposite behavior, which means that dolphin, gwenview and kwrite all use breeze icons.

Hello,
With /usr/bin/qtconfig-qt4  you can choose "Breeze" as GUI Style for qt4 apps.

Thank You FarStar07 I kept trying/usr/bin/qtconfig till now. This is my first post here and am amazed that I got replies so fast. Askubuntu sucks in comparision.

By the way why doesn't the "Desktop Settings (Default)" option in it work? I remember it worked fine in kubuntu.

I'm using i3 right now, but I use some kde programs, like dolphin and konsole. In this context, "Desktop Settings (default)" means to inherit the GTK theme, I believe. Anyways, setting it to Breeze works like a charm.
