That's a bit weird - normally kiconfinder should use the same theme as other 
applications. Possibly relevant: what's your desktop environment? I assume 
gnome3?

Not currently. You could give "qt5ct" a shot - it seems to be geared towards 
this use-case.

No. You could try a different thing, though: It is possible for the theme 
itself to specify a fall-back[1]. I.e. you could modify /usr/share/icons/
gnome/index.theme and add a line "Inherits=breeze" or "Inherits=oxygen". This 
way the regular icon lookup should fall back to the specified icon theme.

Note: if you want this modification to survive system updates a better option 
would be to copy the gnome icon theme to a different name, modify it as 
needed, and set the system icon theme to the modified theme.
