I am unsure if i am allowd to post this here, but if somesone can help, u guys here are that someone.

No matter what I do I can't seem to change the purple color that is all the GUI elements (see image). The color does not appear in my colors.conf or theme.css in my ~/.config/qt5ct/theme.

I have followd the instuctions of the ArchWiki for qt5ct.

$ pacman -Q | grep qt5

I don't know Arch or your DE, but purple is your OS's accent color. perhaps the issue is not in qt5 but somewhere else like /usr/share/themes, ~/.themes or ~/.local/share/themes.

I don't know the answer, but I will engage with the post so that hopefully someone who does will see it :)

no matter ho much you try to hide it, it will always be there, lurking in the corner, waiting for your to forget about it to make itself noticed, give up, embrace it, buy a purple hoodie, get your nails done and paint your house purple, for your own sanity

I don't know where it is saved but did you set an accent color by chance?

What application is that? I run arch (btw) and installed everything by hand, so i don't have a "full" DE

That's just the KDE system settings menu appearance tab.
