Huh. If I run it from a terminal emulator it looks fine, but if XFCE
launches it the text is tiny. Looks like QT_QPA_PLATFORMTHEME isn't being
set. Which means something is running a not-login shell, something between
startx and xfwm. It's defined in ~/.profile. Any ideas?
~/.profile is only sourced when bash is run as a login shell, which is
not the case when XFCE starts. To set environment variables for
applications started by XFCE, add lines before the last line in
~/.config/xfce4/xinitrc
For example, the end of my ~/.config/xfce4/xinitrc looks like:
# some lines
export QT_QPA_PLATFORMTHEME=qt5ct
# more lines
. /etc/xdg/xfce4/xinitrc
You will need to log out and in again for this change to take effect.
You will also need the qt5ct package installed. You should then be able
to run Settings / Qt5 Settings from the XFCE menu (or qt5ct from the
command line) to change your Qt theme and font settings.
