How to avoid dark colour of some programs in LXDE no matter the theme?

Solution 1:

You are having a problem with your qt applications not honoring your gtk theme.

What you do is install qt4-qtconfig and set your qt applications to honor the gtk theme.

sudo apt-get install qt4-qtconfig
qt4-qtconfig

At least on Lubuntu 14.04.02 instead of qt4-qtconfig one should use

qtconfig

In the "Select GUI Style" box, select "GTK+"

qt4 apps
