+The issue is most likely that you did not set up your environment variables properly.
+Example environment variables that you can use one of the following:
+
+If you already have an icon theme set for GTK then you can use this one:
+- `QT_QPA_PLATFORMTHEME=gtk3`
+
+You can also use Qt6ct to set your icon theme, for that you can use:
+- `QT_QPA_PLATFORMTHEME=qt6ct`
+
+If you don't have either of those set then you can just use:
+- `QS_ICON_THEME="youricontheme"`
+
+**Any of these environment variables should go into `/etc/environment` (you need to reboot afterwards). For NixOS you can use `environment.variables` or `home.sessionVariables`.**
