Note Qt5 is currently broken in some universe MATE desktop repos.

wxwidgets would likely be cleaner to maintain over the long-term, and seems more stable for event callbacks etc.

I'll admit some users like spelunking environment variables like QT_QPA_PLATFORM, and application specific python3-venv installs...

Sometimes a web SPA is just easier to avoid the whole mess of porting. =3

Install qt5ct and set

      #!/bin/sh
      export QT_QPA_PLATFORMTHEME=qt5ct

at /etc/profile.d/qt5.sh with 0755 perms.

In some situations qt5ct was the problem at certain points in the past. In this case that trick won't work either.

The Cinnamon desktop package is functional in 24.04 LTS for "reasons" yet to be identified.

Thanks for trying to help though =3

OFC with qt5ct it's suggested to add the qgtk styles too. For instance, the GTK2/3 one to map your GTK2/3 (and 4) settings into the QT5 widgets.

BTW, to enforce Zukitre as the GTK4 theme with Elementary icons:

create /etc/profile.d/gtk.sh

       #!/bin/sh 
       export GTK_THEME=Zukitre
       export GTK_ICON_THEME=Elementary

And, yes, Zuki themes and the Elementary icon set must be installed too.
