WPS Office not opening in Garuda Gnome

Hello everyone

WPS Office suite in not opening in my Garuda Gnome. I have searched for a solution and tries something writen in Arch wiki, but it is not working. Please help.

Below is the WPS Office topic content from Arch wiki.

Use GTK+ UI

The default UI of WPS is Qt. In fact, the bundled Qt is 4.7.4, so the themes such as qtcurve cannot be loaded normally because the versions do not match. But we can change it to GTK+ and add the parameter -style gtk+ directly.

You can modify the et, wpp, and wps files in the /usr/bin/ directory and delete it (if any):

gOpt=

Then, add:

gOpt="-style=gtk+" export GTK2_RC_FILES=/usr/share/themes/Breeze/gtk-2.0/gtkrc

Below is inxi -Faz result

what theme are you currently using?

I am using Adwaita theme.

I have already tried changing the Breeze theme to Adwaita theme

/themes/Breeze/gtk-2.0/gtkrc
to 
/themes/Adwaita/gtk-2.0/gtkrc

Try opening from terminal and post output?

The output for WPS Spreadsheet in terminal shows like below

─mohan@mohan in ~ 
 ╰─λ et

 ╭─mohan@mohan in ~ took 830ms
 ╰─λ 

And WPS spreadsheet does not open.

Just guessing (I've no knowledge of WPS Office and Gnome)...
If you changed /themes/Breeze/gtk-2.0/gtkrc to /themes/Adwaita/gtk-2.0/gtkrc I think you should adjust gOpt="-style=gtk+" export GTK2_RC_FILES=/usr/share/themes/Breeze/gtk-2.0/gtkrc accordingly.
Have you already tried that?

I use WPS on gnome nothing needs changing here it defaults to its own light theme
Where did you get WPS from did you install this

Installed WPS Office from Setup-Assistant.

I have removed WPS office and reinstalled through terminal. But I am getting the same problem.

/usr/bin/wpp
