Ugly GUI after update

Hello!

A few days ago I updated qBittorrent from version 3.3.12 to 3.3.14. Now the GUI looks different -- ugly. And the file-open dialogue is changed to a very inconvenient form.
I think that the previous version I used (3.3.12) was built with Qt4 libs, while this new version is built with Qt5 and this is what caused this problem.
I tried to solve it by appending -style="qt5ct" switch to the command line that starts the application, by changing ~/.profile or /etc/environment, but these things result in something that is even more ugly. I cannot downgrade to 3.2.12 or 3.3.13 since these version are no longer available in the repos.

What can I do to make the GUI look decent again? I'm not using WebUI.

I'm on 64-bit Ubuntu 14.04.5 LTS with KDE desktop.

Changing your system theme has no effect?

Changing the system theme affects all other Qt applications. But not qBittorrent. :(
I'm on Ubuntu Trusty with KDE desktop. Which means that it is KDE4 with Qt4 libs.
The new version of qBittorrent is compiled with Qt5 libs. And I haven't found any good looking Qt5 themes.
But the biggest source if annoyance is the file-open dialogue in Qt5 -- it's very inconvenient and much less functional than either GTK+ or Qt4 file-open dialogues.
