           Summary: apllying a theme in dolphin manager is a nightmare

dolphins instances

Dolphin Version 24.12.0
KDE Frameworks  Version 6.8.0
Qt  Version 6.7.2 (built against 6.7.2)
The xcb windowing system

Please see the attached image and someone please explain to me what is
HAPPENING!
One dolphin is run from shortcut.
another dolphin is run from terminal
another dolphin is run from menu bar.

Can you guess is who and what theme is applying to each other?
I have install a lot of settings and set all to breezer dark. 
eg. kde settings, lxqt settings, kvantum, qt5ct, plasma settings etc.
Nothing really worked (!!!), until I read and created a custom file
"dolphin_use_profile.qss" with this line to set dark background on dolphin
(afterwards set to gray to test). 
A you can see , dolphin's bakground in any of these instances is not even in
any dark/gray mode!
I think an appearance configuration is missing from dolphin. 
I have found a lot of complains around internet about these. 
Most of them they failed to turn background of dolphin into dark except
applying direct hacks.
Can you tell me what to ad the custom qss to make the dolphins background dark
in ALL instances of dolphin?

```
DolphinViewContainer > DolphinView > QAbstractScrollArea {
      background-color: gray;
}
```
