Getting other DEs/WMs to use Breeze Dark QT
I need to get i3 to use breeze dark for Dolphin, or else it looks horrible. I have tried setting QT_STYLE_OVERRIDE=breeze-dark, and it didn't work. I tried using QT_QPA_PLATFORMTHEME, but it screws up KDE. I can't find anything else on Searx. Please help because I bet other people are having issues.

How *exactly* did you try that and how did it not work?

How *exactly* did you try that and how does it impact KDE?
(From what, to what and where did you alter the variable and do you mean when you log into a kde session instead of i3 or when you run KDE applications under i3?)

A: I put the following in my i3 config file
exec export QT_STYLE_OVERRIDE=breeze-dark
It didn't fix anythingI tried using QT_QPA_PLATFORMTHEME, but it screws up KDE.

A: I used QT5CT and put it as QT_QPA_PLATFORMTHEME=qt5ct. It messes up dolphin in kde and other apps like settings. It also messed with the title bars.(From what, to what and where did you alter the variable and do you mean when you log into a kde session instead of i3 or when you run KDE applications under i3?)

I don't think that you can set environment variables this way (pretty sure you can't)
How do start the session/i3? export the environment there.
