In my I3WM I love using KDE apps (especially dolphin), therefore I need to use qt6ct (as qt5ct isn't working at all). I also need the dark mode, and here comes the issue.
Situation
I have qt6ct, systemsettings, lxappearance... installed. I open dolphin and it appears with white background. I open qt6ct, and start pressing everywhere, after 20 (or so) buttons pressed, dolphin turns into a dark mode, but I have to repeat the proccess for every window I open. As you can see, it differs in the main zone:

I thought that systemsettings or lxappearance could be the reason for this failing, but I cannot resolve how.
Edit
Here is a video of what is actually happening.
