You can use qt5ct for further modifying qt5 application themes to resemble the GTK theme. To set this up you can install qt5ct.
Debian based platforms:
sudo apt install qt5ct
Arch based platforms:
pacman -S qt5ct
After installing qt5ct you will have to configure an environment variable so that the QT platform theme calls on qt5ct and not GTK. Navigate to `/etc/X11/Xsession.d/` and search for a file named `56xfce4-qtconfig`. This may or may not be present depending on your distribution and it may be under a different name (for XUbuntu the file name is `56xubuntu-session.`) If this file is not present, then you could try adding `QT_QPA_PLATFORMTHEME=qt5ct` to the `/etc/environment` file.
- Open `/etc/X11/Xsession.d/56xubuntu-session` (or 56xfce4-qtconfig) in a text editor as root or sudo elevation.

After copying over the files to your system, we now need to convert the `sserife.fon` file to a TrueType font using FontForge. (This step is optional; you can still use MS Sans Serif, but bold fonts will not be available)
- Install FontForge with `sudo apt install fontforge`
- Install FontForge with `sudo apt install fontforge` (For Arch platforms, run `pacman -S fontforge-git`)
- Open FontForge and open the `sserife.fon` file
- After the font is opened, go to File -> Generate Fonts...
- Below the new filename `MSSansSerif.ttf` there will be two dropdowns, make sure the left one is set to "No Outline Font", then set the right one to "(faked) MS Bitmap only sfnt (ttf)"

## Disabling GNOME Client Side Decorations
To disable client side decorations for XFCE applications, you can install the the [libxfce4ui-nocsd](https://github.com/Xfce-Classic/libxfce4ui-nocsd) fork. *(Note: This library primarily affects XFCE applications.)*
### Step 1:
For XUbuntu users specifically, you can install libxfce4ui-nocsd from your package manager.
To disable client side decorations for XFCE 4.16 applications, you can install the the [libxfce4ui-nocsd](https://github.com/Xfce-Classic/libxfce4ui-nocsd) fork. *(Note: This library primarily affects XFCE applications.)*
For XUbuntu 21.04 users specifically:
sudo apt install libxfce4ui-nocsd-2-0
Then open the XFCE Settings Editor > xsettings > DialogsUseHeader (remove check). Alternatively, you can also perform this action from the following terminal command.
For Arch bases platforms:
pacman -S libxfce4ui-nocsd
For other platforms, such as Debian 11 or non XUbuntu 21.04 flavours, you may have to build libxfce4ui-nocsd for yourself. You may also check the [Chicago95 OBS repo](https://software.opensuse.org//download.html?project=home%3Abgstack15%3AChicago95&package=chicago95-theme-all) to see if your platform is available.
### Step 2:
Open the XFCE Settings Editor > xsettings > DialogsUseHeader (remove check). Alternatively, you can also perform this action from the following terminal command.
xfconf-query -c xsettings -p /Gtk/DialogsUseHeader -s false
If you want to disable the CSD dialogue headers seen in most other GTK3 applications, you can also install the gtk3-nocsd package.
### Optional Step 1:
If you would like to return the titlebar and window manager borders for most other GTK3+ applications, you can also install the gtk3-nocsd package.
Debian based platforms:
sudo apt install gtk3-nocsd.
After installing, you may need to reboot your computer. The Chicago95 GTK theme includes an optional gtk3-nocsd theme to mask the headerbars into simple toolbar buttons. To enable the gtk3-nocsd theme, follow the bellow steps:
Arch based platforms:
pacman -S gtk3-nocsd-git
### Optional Step 2:
After installing the gtk3-nocsd package, you may need to reboot your computer. The Chicago95 GTK theme includes an optional gtk3-nocsd theme to mask the header bars into simple toolbar buttons. To enable the gtk3-nocsd theme, follow the bellow steps:
- Navigate to the location you've installed Chicago95. From there, navigate further more to gtk-3.0 > gtk.css.
- Scroll to the bottom of the gtk.css file. There are two comments stating, "Comment out for gtk3-nocsd theme" and two more comments stating, "Uncomment for gtk3-nocsd theme." Do so for the specified lines.
