+Install the Gtk+2 TQt engine (<tt>gtk-tqt-engine</tt>). Then configure it via <code>Trinity Control Center > Appearance > GTK Styles and Fonts</code>.
+== Gtk+3 ==
+{{WarningBox | text = This will not work with Gtk+3 versions 3.20 and later.}}
+Install the Gtk+3 TQt engine (<tt>gtk-tqt-engine</tt>). Then configure it in the same way as the Gtk+2 style.
+== Qt4 ==
+Start Qt4's <tt>qtconfig</tt> (might be named <tt>qtconfig-qt4</tt> or similarly on your system). In the option <code>Select GUI Style</code> pick <code>GTK+</code> from the drop-down menu.
+You will have to pick the appropriate fonts manually.
+== Qt5 ==
+Install <tt>qt5c</tt> and the Gtk+ style plugin for Qt5 (probably in a package named something like <tt>qt5-styleplugins</tt>).
+Then, make Qt5 use <tt>qt5ct</tt> settings by means of the appropriate environment variable:
+<syntaxhighlight lang="shell-session">
+$ export QT_QPA_PLATFORMTHEME=qt5ct
+</syntaxhighlight>
+You can put this line in your <tt>.bashrc</tt> for the current user or in a script in the <tt>/etc/profile.d</tt> directory to set it system-wide.
+Next, start <tt>qt5ct</tt> and select <code>Gtk2</code> as your Qt5 style.
+Once again, you will have to pick the appropriate fonts manually.
