Greets!
I decided to upgrade from Jessie to Stretch last night. it seems to
have worked though there are some oddities.
now VLC has grotesquely large control buttons ("Pause", etc.); the
interface in general seems to run on a different 'theme' and anyway
is over-large.
I have tried the "forced window style" option under "preferences"
but
none of the various options but they make no different in these
respects. maybe 'CDE' comes closest.
I have purged and re-installed VLC also to no avail.
I have looked at the 'themes' VLC offers. awful. just want my
orange-colored working interface back.
the only other application I've found which has undergone similar
changes is Pan - it has a more 'pastel' shaded control set which I
don't appreciate but can ignore.
note a complication: I had Devuan installed and just did the Stretch
update but not sure of its relevance (thus I mention it).
vlc is qt5 app. You need to install qt5-style-plugins. After that you can
force theme in vlc setting. There is no qt3 of course, but there is gtk2,
and gtk2 theme is not hard to configure. The other solution is qt5ct, but
its not in stretch. You can build the buster version with apt-src.
