I use qt5ct and/or kvantum on Linux to theme Sigil. They work pretty well. There is also a dark theme inherent to Sigil that you can force by setting the environment variable FORCE_SIGIL_DARKMODE_PALETTE to 1 , but I don't remember off-hand when the built-in dark theme was added to Sigil. Maybe 1.1-ish?

EDIT: Yep, the Sigil Linux docs indicate 1.1.

qt5ct relies on the QT_QPA_PLATFORMTHEME environment variable being set to "qt5ct" to work. Perhaps one of the env vars got borked in the upgrade?
