Hmm, looks like you was using different (maybe wrong) commands…

First is install qt5-qtstyleplugins package in dom0 terminal with:

sudo qubes-dom0-update qt5-qtstyleplugins

in /etc/environment it should be

QT_QPA_PLATFORMTHEME=gtk2

then insert in dom0 terminal

export QT_QPA_PLATFORMTHEME=gtk2

And then your qubes manager probably will went dark…??

…after the next reboot?
