it was originally ported to 'fix' the qt5 bug with file dialogs when running within gtk desktop environments, the default gtk3 file dialog triggers a cpu 100% spin. but right now, i tried qt5ct (which uses those style plugins) and it seems broken at runtime too with qt 5.15. something else to look at ? as for the styles themselves, if qt5 default provides styles, i can let this one go. but without a different theme that the default gtk3 style, file dialogs were *unusable* in qt5 apps (qgis at least) - i killed -9 qgis so many times on this bug...
