Is there a fix for Qt application theming on Ubuntu/Gnome + Wayland?
I've tried QGnomePlatform, which was a bit of a pain to compile on Ubuntu, and more importantly, didn't resolve the issue. It's also unfortunately no longer maintained, so even if it worked, it would be nothing more than a temporary fix.

LibAdwaita Styled window decorations for Qt based applications [QAdwaitaPlatform]
Pull request. It was "rejected" because the maintainer wants to use LibDecor in a far future (how in far we dont know). Since November 2022, I just used this branch on my PC in the hope of QGnomePlatform port to LibDecor, and I didn't publish this branch anywhere. But I'm tired of waiting and uploaded this to AUR. I know, rewriting whole decoration is better, but i dont want to do it.

PSA: You can fix Qt apps not using the dark icon theme under GNOME by installing qgnomeplatform >= 0.9.1
Check out qgnomeplatform issue #106 @GitHub for more information.

Scribus does not see my other ui themes (Qtile)
EndeavourOS has a Gnome based theme that is not compatible with Scribus, because it is build with Qt themes. Looks like there is a library that supports Gnome themes in Qt: https://github.com/FedoraQt/QGnomePlatform

What exactly is making Flatpak Qt apps look like this on GNOME? I have both KDE and GNOME installed and this looks fine on KDE with the breeze theme.
It looks like QGnomePlatform is used.

QT Apps have Strange UI
Are qgnomeplatform-{qt5,qt6} installed? If so, you could try removing them. It's possible that QGnomePlatform isn't properly handling one of Qt's numerous scaling options.

Some flatpak applications close when hovering over the window buttons. It only happens with qt applications
I can reproduce here on F37. It's probably a bug in QGnomePlatform. Removing the relevant version of org.kde.WaylandDecoration.QGnomePlatform-decoration fixes it, as does forcing the app to use X11.

Does anyone know why this happens and how to fix it? This only Happens on Wayland. This also happens with discord.
i think you need to install this https://github.com/FedoraQt/QGnomePlatform

So many GTK Desktop Environments, yet so little Qt ones
That's a stretch. One former LXDE contributor, LStranger, wanted to continue the GTK version. The entire remaining developer team (including the LXDE founder PCMan) was like "whatever floats your boat, man" and decided to split up the projects in a friendly manner. But let's be honest here: Barely anything happens at LXDE any longer. Just look at the core component, PCManFM that is both the file manager and the desktop shell: https://github.com/lxde/pcmanfm/commits/master
What are some alternatives?
When comparing QGnomePlatform and pcmanfm you can also consider the following projects:
adwaita-qt - A style to bend Qt applications to look like they belong into GNOME Shell
lumina - Lumina Desktop Environment
HiDPI-Fixer - Qt app that automates fractional scaling configuration on X11 desktops
pcmanfm - PCManFM file manager
nextspace - NeXTSTEP-like desktop environment for Linux
shell - :shell: Convergent shell for desktops, phones and tables built with QtQuick, Wayland and Material Design
