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).
