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.

And after a qt5 upgrade you may need to re-install/compile <code>qt5ct</code>.

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".
