Trying to use KDE Connect on Debian Cinnamon: How do I get dark mode? Other qt6 apps, including qt6ct, show dark themes, but KDE Connect is blaring white.

Alternatively, is there another program I could use to type SMS messages from my desktop?

EDIT: qt6ct gives me a warning
The QT_QPA_PLATFORMTHEME environment variable is not set (required values: qt6ct or qt5ct).
EDIT 2:
I also found Adwaita-qt6, which could be want I want.
packages.debian.org/trixie/adwaita-qt6
The package description states
To use it, start your Qt applications with “-style Adwaita” parameter, or export QT_STYLE_OVERRIDE=Adwaita environment variable. For the dark version, use Adwaita-Dark instead of Adwaita.
I do not know how to permanently set such an environment variable.

EDIT2:
I edited the file
~/.bashrc to add the line
env QT_QPA_PLATFORMTHEME=qt6ct


This has the weird effect that when I launch a program from the terminal, the environment variable QT_QPA_PLATFORMTHEME is set, but when I launch a program from the applications menu, it isn't. This works for some programs (including qt6ct itself), but
not for kdeconnect-app or kdeconnect-sms, which both seem to ignore the QT_QPA_PLATFORMTHEME setting.

The only thing I really wanted from KDE Connect was the ability to type SMS messages from my computer: currently I use Google Messages' "device paring" feature, but I want to be able to use a non-Google app on my phone. Is there another way to do this?

I opened a bug report for KDE Connect, for what it's worth.

@2something is it using qt 6 for sure, and not qt 5?
