Upon installation, the following global lxqt.conf file is written to /etc/xdg/lxqt/ # cat /etc/xdg/lxqt/lxqt.conf [General] theme=frost icon_theme=oxygen single_click_activate=false tool_button_style=ToolButtonTextBesideIcon [Qt] font="Sans,11,-1,5,50,0,0,0,0,0" doubleClickInterval=400 style=Fusion wheelScrollLines=3 The upstream project expects the oxygen icons as the fallback default. Otherwise, starting lxqt the first time: XSESSION=lxqt startx results in a black screen empty icon boxes. There are two possible work arounds: 1) emerge -1va kde-base/oxygen-icons 2) USE="admin" emerge lxqt-meta start lxqt click on the leftmost box. This is the menu button. There will be no icons but all the menu entries will have their normal text entries. Find the entry for 'lxqt settings'. This will bring up the settings window. In the 'appearance' app, set the icons and the theme. Note that the default USE flags do not include 'admin'. This should probably be changed to be default on.
