Well, that didn’t take long. Very, very sorry for these mishaps… BugFix: Fixed a disk view bug in Qutiny side bar – unmounted partitions appear as mounted. BugFix: Fixed a bug causing the default file manager not to open when mounting a partition from the desktop’s mount points context menu.
I am happy to announce the release of Orbitiny Desktop Pilot 10 and for the first time since Orbitiny’s initial release, Orbitiny Desktop now meets nearly all the necessary and fundamental functionalities required for a complete desktop experience and this includes automatic startup configuration (when used as a system-wide desktop) of icons, themes, cursors, audio …
Source: https://aur.archlinux.org/packages/qt6ct-kde. The QT_QPA_PLATFORMTHEME=qt6ct is automatically exported within Orbitiny’s session when Orbitiny starts.

Vital customization settings are now applied on start up when Orbitiny is used as a system-wide desktop. So, this means when you adjust non-Orbitiny settings within an Obritiny Desktop session, the settings are now remembered and applied on start-up when the session is restarted.
