 Edit manually the theme files to further customise if you like.
+=Theming A Pure Qt4/5 System=
+For customising a pure Qt4/5 system you can use the preinstalled qtconfig-qt4 and its qt5 version, [http://qt-apps.org/content/show.php/Qt5+Configuration+Tool?content=168066 qt5ct] which you can easily compile, (as of this writing) if you have qt5 version 5.4.0 or higher.
+After installation you need to put this in your <code>~/.bashrc</code> file:
+ export QT_QPA_PLATFORMTHEME=qt5ct
+And after a qt5 upgrade you may need to re-install/compile <code>qt5ct</code>.
+Your customisation by this tool will not be honoured immediately (only) by <code>pcmanfm-qt</code> which runs in your LXQt system in daemon mode. In order for it to honour your customisation you need to re-login.
+In addition to the preinstalled qt theme engines you can install <code>qtcurve-qt4</code> and <code>qtcurve-qt5</code> from the repo by:
+ sudo pacman -S qtcurve-qt4 qtcurve-qt5
+And you can install <code>virtuality</code> AUR packages by:
+ yaourt -S virtuality-qt4-git virtuality-qt5-git
+Those two theming engines by themselves have some customisability too. With <code>qtcurve</code> you need to manually edit the <code>~/.config/qtcurve/stylerc</code> file. You can, for instance, change the menu bar background colour by
+ shadeMenubars=#cdcdcd
+and then change the popup menu background colour by
+ shadePopupMenu=true
+or change sliders colour by
+ shadeSliders=origselected
+Instead of "origselected" you can enter "selected" or any colour you want.
+Another theme engine is <code>kvantum</code>:
-For a pure Qt4/5 system you don’t have really an option to choose a preset or customize the default one. You may use the default <code>fusion</code> and wait either for <code>qtcurve</code> or for <code>vitality</code> (<code>bespin</code> developer’s new creation) to have a config tool. Or another generous soul may create a qtconfig-qt5 in the mean time.
+ yaourt -S kdestyle-kvantum-kde4-git
+It doesn't have KDE dependencies, but its said customisation utility seemingly only works in KDE (at this time) as I couldn't see any such utility in my system after installing it. <code>kvantum</code> can be installed as a qt5 app as well, but since there's no separate qt5 AUR package, you need to install it once more as a qt5 app. To do that you should edit the package content when <code>yaourt</code> ask you to; just replace the "qt4" entries with "qt5".
