You can also set the variable `QT_STYLE_OVERRIDE` instead of the `-style` argument.  
Note that a bug prevents the theme to correctly be loaded with ParaView 5.7 but it is fixed in master and will work with the upcoming 5.8 release.  
As mentioned by @rabarbar42 this method will not work with the binary bundle that we provide because it is not using the QT of your system.
