Replace Bash with Fish. Open two terminals.

echo "Check mate".

Memes don't have to be true.

PS: I use Arch, BTW

I love the poster, but honestly, calling it "the African way", like all Africa was the same seems pretty odd to me.

Wow! Thank you so much for such complete answer, although I don't want to cheat, I just don't want to feel abused when doing my exams. And TBH, I really appreciate all the effort you made to reply me, I love it, but I can't afford risking they recognizing the virtual machine, even when it's by far the best choice IMO.

For a moment I thought you said "LyX" and I was like: you use a LaTeX editor for browsing?

Lynx rules btw 👍

I think I figured it out, I created a .xprofile file and moved all the env stuff there:

➤ cat .xprofile
source ~/.config/i3/scripts/qt6ct.sh
export QT_SCREEN_SCALE_FACTORS=1.45 # 1.5
export QT_AUTO_SCREEN_SCALE_FACTOR=0 # 0

Now dolphin uses breeze themes, thunar uses its gtk version and also found out about how to fix the zoom issue (it was supposed to be another different battle but seems like they have more in common than what I thought!)

Thank you so much for helping me all the way here!! :)

Correction: I didn't entirely fix it!

There's a couple of stuff to be fixed: screenshot

• calendar widget looks huge
• dolphin space/zoom status are not blue, but black.
• probably other stuff to be discovered

Which means that in Plasma QT_QPA_PLATFORMTHEME is still read as qt5ct :(

Correction 2: I FIXED IT!!

remove everything from .xprofile except sourcing the script:

#!/bin/bash
CURRENT_DESKTOP=$(echo "$XDG_CURRENT_DESKTOP")

if [[ "$CURRENT_DESKTOP" = "i3" ]]; then
    export QT_QPA_PLATFORMTHEME="qt5ct"
    export QT_SCREEN_SCALE_FACTORS=1.5 # 1.5
    export QT_AUTO_SCREEN_SCALE_FACTOR=0
elif [[ "$CURRENT_DESKTOP" = "KDE" ]]; then
    unset QT_QPA_PLATFORMTHEME
    export QT_AUTO_SCREEN_SCALE_FACTOR=1

else
    echo "Gestor de ventanas no es i3 ni kwin: $CURRENT_DESKTOP"
fi

echo $CURRENT_DESKTOP
echo $QT_QPA_PLATFORMTHEME
echo $QT_AUTO_SCREEN_SCALE_FACTOR 

Ok, something happened: adding it to .bash_profile did change QT_QPA_PLATFORMTHEME on i3 (whoohooo \o/), BUT it also did on plasma (ouch 😢), so the script for some reason is not returning what is supposed to.

LOL you're right! Yet, I am still getting no better result when changing it:

➤ ~/.config/i3/scripts/qt6ct.sh 
i3
qt5ct
➤ echo "$QT_QPA_PLATFORMTHEME"

➤ ~/.config/i3/scripts/qt6ct.sh 
i3
qt5ct
➤ source ~/.config/i3/scripts/qt6ct.sh 
i3
qt5ct
➤ echo "$QT_QPA_PLATFORMTHEME"
qt5ct

Ok, here are very interesting things:

1. I added source ~/.config/i3/scripts/qt6ct.sh at .profile, and logout. When I logged in, nothing has changed. I don't know why, since when I manually run it, it apparently changes the value of QT_QPA_PLATFORMTHEME.
2. After doing all of that, Qt apps doesn't seem affected at all, when I open the qt5ct application from Rofi, it keeps showing me the same warning (something like: The QT_QPA_PLATFORMTHEME environment variable has not been set (required values: qt5ct or qt6ct)).
3. AFTER I do all of this, if I run qt5ct or run rofi --show -drun and then select the qt5ct app, then it works just fine. The same happens with dolphin: if I run it from rofi, then it looks awful, but if I run it from the terminal, it looks great. BUT if I close the terminal and open it again, everything goes back to normal (meaning: awful).

After including source ~/.config/i3/scripts/qt6ct.sh to /etc/environment and rebooting to see if anything changed: nope. No changes, the problem persists.

Great! I'll check it when I have more time then :)

Thanks for replying! I saw the collection (I had it installed through AUR), but I wanted something that united all of these settings! I did not know though about Clawe, so I'll definitely investigate it!

Cool! Thanks! I don't see many people in data science working just with R, so it's good to see your case :)

It worked!! Is there any way to solve this issue without depending on Kwallet? I'll investigate for lightweight alternatives :)
