How to set kde (qt) theme in openbox ?

Hello,
I use Openbox as a WM and I'm looking for a simple way to change qt theme. Are there apps like gtk-theme-switch but for qt ? Or can i just edit qtrc by hand ? And what should i put in it ? Is there a guide somewhere ?

I have also installed kdemod (testing) to try using kcontrol, but when i run kcontrol, I get : "kcontrol: WARNING: No K menu group with X-KDE-BaseGroup=settings found ! Defaulting to Settings/" and the left part of kcontrol is empty. I get the same result when i startkde and try to run kcontrol from there.

KDE and qt packages installed :

pacman -Q | grep kde :
kdemod-arts 1.5.7-7
kdemod-icons-tango 1.2.1-3
kdemod-kde-common 3.5.7-9
kdemod-kde-i18n-fr 3.5.7-5
kdemod-kdeaddons-base 3.5.7-7
kdemod-kdeadmin 3.5.7-3
kdemod-kdebase 3.5.7-21
kdemod-kdegraphics-base 3.5.7-6
kdemod-kdelibs 3.5.7-16

Try qtconfig. It's part of QT.

Thanks, it works for qt apps.

But it didn't change kde apps like Kopete or BasKet. I thought they depended on qt configuration too but apparently i was wrong.
But i succeeded to use kcontrol : i deleted  .config/menus/applications-kmenuedit.menu and run kbuildsycoca and now it works ... I don't really understand why but it works
