I'm not sure since it was a while ago that I ran into something like this. Click the K menu thingy, then settings and then QT Configuration Tool. That is one place. If that doesn't help, here's another place. In the System Settings menu, look under Appearance and then select Application Style. On the left there should be a Gnome Application Style tab like thing. I adjusted the GTK2 and GTK3 themes to change some programs. I can't recall for sure which one does what. I'm sort of leaning toward the last one. May want to try it first. I don't think you have to logout for them to go into affect. My GTK2 is set to Releigh and GTK3 is set to Breeze. That may be a starting point at least. You may want to check some other setting in the other tabs too. Hope that makes sense and helps. Dale :-) :-)
