GTK+3 theme is not applied

theme is set in both ~/.config/gtk-3.0/settings.ini and in x settings daemon (and so it works as expected in all the gtk3 apps, firefox and chrom*) but when running Qt5 apps via gtkplatform apps always end up with default Adwaita theme.

The adwaita-qt theme plugin which gtkplatform relies on for the appearance of things other than menus would likely be a better place to look/file this - I'm not sure it supports custom themes offhand.

after roughly reading it seems it's sorta hardcoded to adwaita theme

and also i don't even see gtk in deps: https://github.com/FedoraQt/adwaita-qt/blob/master/CMakeLists.txt

That doesn't surprise me much. gtk removed their theme API a number of releases ago, making it very difficult to match its theming behaviour. There is GtkStyleContext, but using that is not trivial (and neither is QStyle the easiest thing to use).

I was implementing basic gtk+3 support in awesome wm Basically the problem is undocumented stylecontext: https://gitlab.gnome.org/GNOME/gtk/issues/79 But it seems they don’t wanna fix it because of some alternatively smart people on high positions in gnome design team..,
