Foxitreader (qt application) having troubles with dark xfce themes.

Hi everyone:

I've recently installed Foxit PDF reader in my machine. However, drop-down menus (among other elements) look weird, and I can't read anything in the settings menu. It looks like current theme (Adwaita-dark) makes drop-down menu render differently from other themes. For instance, with Adwaita light it looks nice.

With adwaita-dark:

With adwaita-light:

Is there any way I can tell that specific application to use another xfce theme (I've tried GTK_THEME and all that stuff, but nothing works), or any workaround that would help solve this issue?
I'm wondering why this qt looks ugly but other (e.g. vlc) does not, it seems like it's using some elements from the DE global theme.

Thanks beforehand!

"Solved" by installing some Qt themes and setting the environment variable QT_STYLE_OVERRIDE=<theme_name>
