But when i start "amarok" its still looking ugly. Maybe its because its an KDE-based program. But how can i fix that ? Thanks.

Guess you're best off at the community support for your distro, as this is not an i3-specific question.

The solution posted here didn't work. After checking Arch Wiki, apparently Qt apps check `DESKTOP_SESSION` environment variable to setup their themes accordingly. In my case it was pointing to path of i3. I did `export DESKTOP_SESSION=kde` and now Qt apps work perfectly, no more ugly theme with missing icons. edit: `XDG_CURRENT_DESKTOP=kde` works too.Sun, 20 Sep 2015 15:55:32 +0000https://faq.i3wm.org/question/915/how-to-edit-theme-of-kde-based-windows/?answer=6645#post-id-6645https://faq.i3wm.org/question/915/how-to-edit-theme-of-kde-based-windows/?comment=6647#comment-6647This works on a pretty plain Fedora installation too!

If you prefer editing the config files directly, you can edit the file ~/.kde/share/config/kdeglobalsSun, 24 Mar 2013 21:30:55 +0000https://faq.i3wm.org/question/915/how-to-edit-theme-of-kde-based-windows/?answer=1479#post-id-1479
