Kde5 breeze-dark theme and kde icons not working in i3wm

i3kdeplasma

I have selected breeze dark color for KDE applications via systemsettings5. When i run plasma, the dark thems applies properly, but when I run i3 it shows white theme. Can KDE themes be applied to KDE apps when running in non-kde windows managers?

I had similar problems and found this somewhat related bugtracker entry. There doesn't seem to be a convincing solution, I work around this by faking my desktop environment to be KDE. Give adding XDG_CURRENT_DESKTOP=KDE to your .xprofile a try and see what happens.
