Is someone able to get DarkMode withVBox 7.2.6r172322 (Qt6.8.2 on xcb)?

Post by liar666 »

Hi there,

I got VBox 7.2.6r172322 (Qt6.8.2 on xcb) installed on LMDE7 / i3WM.

I cannot manage to get dark mode.

I've tried all the solutions on the web and on viewtopic.php?p=557622&hilit=dark+mode#p557622:
- QT_QPA_PLATFORMTHEME=qt{5,6}ct
- QT_QPA_PLATFORMTHEME=gtk{2,3,4}
- QT_QPA_PLATFORMTHEME=xdgdesktopportal
- QT_STYLE_OVERRIDE=Fusion
- GTK_THEME=Adwaita:dark
- ~/.config/gtk-*.0/settings.ini
- QT_QUICK_CONTROLS_MATERIAL_THEME="Dark"
