I'm currently also trying to make a MX KDE respin but a lot of MX tools are deeply intertwined with XFCE which is causing problems. I don't have enough programming skills to rewrite MX Tools in Qt for KDE removing all XFCE related codes.
Actually, it's not so much XFCE, but an issue of GTK vs Qt.
No small undertaking, porting MX tools to Qt, but IIRC, the AppImage of MX-LUM is Qt based, and so is mx-live-usb-maker.

Oh yes, you're correct. The MX PackageInstaller is also written using Qt. But why does it not respect plasma dark theming? It still looks same as it did in xfce. What am i doing wrong? Most MX apps I have checked so far (I haven't checked them all) and also synaptic (which is GTK unless I'm mistaken) look strange(meaning light theme not the dark GTK theme that I setup in KDE settings manager). On the other hand, qbittorrent looks fine.
P.S. I know I digress from the topic but I'm curious.

Could be that synaptic, MX package installer and some other MX tools are launched as root and so doesn't get any theme applied to the GUI.

More likely, that
root's theme is being applied?
You really should open a new topic.
