Sync GTK themes with QT ones

Is there an automatic way to handle a consistency of themes across XFCE? Right now I am using the built in tool (Apperance) + Kvantum. But if a user wants to change the theme, the user must do so in 2 locations. Is there an automated way to basically change the theme via Apperance and to have it apply to QT apps as well? Thanks!

Re: Sync GTK themes with QT ones

I solved this. Here's how:

Install qt5-styleplugins and qt5ct. In QT5 Settings setup so that the themes follow a gtk2 layout. Then in .profile add "export QT_QPA_PLATFORMTHEME="qt5ct". Seems to work great.
