First things first, thank you, thank you thank you. Your application is a life saver for people like me that run a WM instead of a DE (Openbox in my case).
The shadows of the icons inside dolphin (KF5) are different depending if you are root or normal user.
Both my laptop and my desktop suffer this, but while in my desktop the shadow are good for normal user and bad for root user, in my laptop is exactly the contrary.
That happens ONLY when i set QT_QPA_PLATFORMTHEME="qt5ct" while with QT_QPA_PLATFORMTHEME="kde" things run perfectly fine.
Sadly i do not know QT language to suggest you how to proceed or what is doing that, but I'm 100% sure that is related to qt5ct.
Thank you.

This was exactly what I needed under Enlightenment. Exporting QT_STYLE_OVERRIDE didn't cover all apps. Thanks a lot!

Just what I was looking for, a couple of things though it doesn't save anything to the style sheets just empty files, also the 'Creat fonts.conf' does nothing just gives this:
QIODevice::write: device not open
in the shell.
Would be nice to get the style sheets working, I am using LFS, qt-5.40, and xfce DE

I have qtconf-qt4 configured to match my desktop. Every time I attempt to make theme changes with qt5 nothing happens. Even: -style=Windows after the app name still gives me fusion as does you app. Any Idea as to how I may fix this issue would be appreciated.

May be Qt5 compiled without windows style support.

I was using Windows as an example. It doesnt allow for any change. Everything except you app stays as Fusion.

1. Check environment variable:

user@testhost:~$ export | grep QT_QPA_PLATFORMTHEME
declare -x QT_QPA_PLATFORMTHEME="qt5ct"

2. Start qt5 application with QT_DEBUG_PLUGINS=1 and check output.

Check QT_STYLE_OVERRIDE environment variable. May be it overrides your settings.

Very nice, this is a great idea.
Just wondering, did you look into enabling reloading the settings for apps already running? Is it even possible?

My qt5 is upgraded to 5.4 and now I can't launch qt5 apps when "export QT_QPA_PLATFORMTHEME=qt5ct" is in bashrc:

/usr/bin/qtcreator: line 2: 1278 Segmentation fault (core dumped) QT_LOGGING_TO_CONSOLE=1 qtcreator-bin $@

A few suggestions if not a big hassle for you:

1. To see the newly customised theme/style/colour scheme one needs to click "OK" and quit the app and re-launch it to further customise it. An "Apply" button beside "OK" and "Cancel" making it possible to not quit the app during tinkering would be a fine convenience.

2. The list in the Palette Editor window doesn't seem to follow a logic, i.e. WindowText and Window are far apart for instance among others.

3. Some entries in the Palette Editor window are obscure for us, users: Light, Midlight, Dark, Mid. Would be fine if there were brief explanations of those.

4. I believe the user after making custom colour schemes/styles of his/her own, can save them as 1-qt5ct.conf, 2-qt5ct.conf etc. and make one of them default replacing it with ~/.config/qt5ct/qt5ct.conf. Yet this requires quite a manual work. Can such a facility be implemented in the app itself?

5. Would you mind putting the colour picker/chooser widget of your app as a seperate app as well since there's nothing like it for a Qt only system. (There's one in Github, but not as elegant with two windows.)

By the way, it works putting that environment thing in ~/.bashrc as well.

By the way 2, my previous failure at using the app may have arised from my having Qt5 version 5.3 not 5.4, though it's working now.
