One more thing that bothers me is that rows in `QListWidget`s are now significantly shorter. And there used to be more space between widgets.

And of course the biggest thing that really frustrated me was this:

This reduction in margins is likely the culprit behind the elements becoming unreadable.

That’s fine as long as there’s an option in Preferences to enforce your own GTK theme or Plasma theme. This is especially important now after we’ve seen that the default Anki’s theme can break the UI.
