I am wanting to change Krusader's appearance, as I don't like its current icon theme -- but I've tried changing Qt5's settings (via root, with Qt5ct) and it doesn't seem to affect the program at all.
Is there some way to edit Krusader's choice of icons, for folders and files inside the file manager?
Krusader uses the current theme icons, you can set them through plasma's system settings tool (and restart Krusader).
No, it doesn't appear to, at least not in root mode -- changes to the theme icons have no effect on Krusader's look, while in root mode.
In the normal mode, yes, it does work, but I need to know how to apply them to the root mode version. I've tried running systemsettings5 via sudo, but that doesn't seem to work either.

I found that changing the HOME environment variable fixes problem
try executing kdesudo -c "HOME=$HOME dolphin"
I did that, and changed the command entry to: kdesudo -c "HOME=$HOME krusader" and it worked...
