 Indeed the best DE out there.
 
 By default xfce is a very plain desktop and looks kind of old and shitty
 (like this website), but it can look and feel great with some work!

 + Install a better theme. Some good ones are:

-+ Install kvantum and kvantum-qt5 to change qt themes. Add this to
-  =/etc/environment= for kvantum to work:\\
-  =QT_STYLE_OVERRIDE=kvantum=
-+ Whisker menu for those who want a more modern menu:
++ Whisker menu for those who want a modern bloated menu:
   + Install whisker menu for a way better menu
   + Go into the panel settings to remove the old one and change it to
     whisker menu.
 + Enable clipman as one of the startup apps for a kde like clipboard.
 + Make some nicer keybinds:
-  + Bind =xfce4-popup-whiskermenu= to something like alt+f1 than use
-    xcape to bind it to super to get around the xfce super key bug. Add
-    =xcape -e 'Super_L=Alt_L|F1'= as a startup application or whatever
-    dummy keybind you binded to whiskermenu. Sadly xfce cant bind
-    anything to super key without breaking other shortcuts that use
-    super so we have to use xcape in a painful hacky way.
-  + Bind "super+v" to =xfce4-clipman-history= to make it feel more like
-    the kde clipboard
+  + Bind "super+v" to =xfce4-clipman-history= to make it feel more like the kde
+    clipboard
+  + Open "Window Manager" and go to "keyboard" to make the wm binds better.
 + Make new windows show up at the center by going into the "Window
-  ManagerTweaks" "Placement" tab, turning the minimum size all the way
-  up and make sure its set to place new windows at the center.
-+ Go into "Window Manager" and set a cooler window style and more sane
-  shortcuts for virtual desktops.
+  ManagerTweaks" "Placement" tab and turning the minimum size all the way up.
++ Go into "Window Manager" and set a cooler window style.
 + Go into "Window Manager Tweaks" and fuck around with the compositor
   settings for cool clear things.
++ For follow focus go into "Window Manager" than "focus" where you can fuck
+  around. I personally like follow focus with zero delay :D
+
+* Qt programs in xfce
+:PROPERTIES:
+:CUSTOM_ID: qt
+:END:
+Qt programs tend to look out of place in a gtk based DE like xfce. This can be
+fixed with kvantum and qt6ct. Here is the thing: qt5 works just fine with
+kvantum alone while qt6 will have a black on black tooltip, and qt6 programs
+without kvantum will use your gtk color scheme but not widget style. For things
+to play nicely you need both qt6ct and kvantum.
+
+To use them:
+Add these to your =/etc/environment=:
+#+begin_src shell
+  QT_STYLE_OVERRIDE=kvantum
+  QT_QPA_PLATFORMTHEME=qt6ct
+#+end_src
+
+Ignore the misconfiguration errors in qt6ct.
+
+Set whatever theme you want from kvantum than set the theme to kvantum in
+qt6ct. *qt6ct does not follow your system fonts.* If things look weird it might
+be the fonts.
+
+The qt theme I use is [[https://github.com/originalseed/kvdarkcold][kvdarkcold]].
 
 * Rofi in xfce

 The default xfce appfinder been causing me issues lately so I decided to
-switch to rofi.\\
-\\
-To make rofi work with my workflow I like to add some binds for it:
+switch to rofi.
 
-+ Bind =rofi -show drun -icon-theme "Papirus-Dark" -show-icons= to
-  super+d
+To make rofi work with my workflow I like to add some binds for it:
++ Bind =rofi -show drun -icon-theme "buuf" -show-icons= to super+d
 + Bind =rofi -show run= to super+r
-+ Bind =rofi -show window -icon-theme "Papirus-Dark" -show-icons= to
-  super+w
++ Bind =rofi -show window -icon-theme "buuf" -show-icons= to super+w
 
 There is much more I could use rofi for but this is all I need.
