You may need to keyword other packages; will tell you if it is the case.

Changing the GTK+ themes
The LXQt appearance settings GUI has no support for changing GTK+ themes, so you may want to install to take care of that.

Alternatively, you can change the themes manually, for example using the GTK2_RC_FILES variable:

The GTK+ page of the Arch Linux wiki has more information for configuring GTK+2 and GTK+3 themes.

If you want Qt applications to use your GTK+2 theme, make sure that is installed with the gtkstyle USE flag, and select the  widget style in the LXQt appearance settings.

Automounting volumes
By default, LXQt tries to automount every attached disk at startup and when they are plugged in. It may result in unwanted popup windows asking for the root password to mount disks.

The automount options are located in the PCManFM file manager settings:
 * In the applications menu, open.
 * Select the menu item.
 * Click on.
 * Disable or enable the desired features.

Applications
Any Qt application can be used with LXQt, but if Qt applications that do not depend on any component of KDE are preferred please see the Qt Desktop applications article.

Support
Support for LXQt on Gentoo can be found in the Freenode IRC channel. Bugs should be reported at the Gentoo's Bugzilla.

The official IRC channel for LXQt is on Freenode.
