After getting a messed up VLC theme with Helium install (menu bar items all squished together, no visible dropdown, strange playback icon layout) I ran apt-get upgrade && apt-get install vlc.
The new version of VLC 3.0.2 looks just as bad.
It seems this was a problem before Helium was released (see here, comment #4), but I haven't found any other mention of it on the forums.
Tips, anyone?

You've missed our update that takes care of Qt theme integration, see https://github.com/BunsenLabs/bunsen-co … ssionrc#L9.

Thanks @Head! That solved it.
Only trouble now is VLC doesn't play videos (.mov, .mp4) properly -- just random flashes as the file plays. Audio on the video files and audio files (.wav, .mp3) work fine. Shall I open a new thread for this?

Yes, I think so but reboot first, just in case the problem disappears — a theme change seems unlikely to b0rk your video playback

Try changing your video output in the settings from automatic to xv to see if that makes any difference. Also try disabling the automatic hardware acceleration in the Input/Codecs settings.
Or you could run vlc from the terminal to see if any relevant error messages show up; it's quite verbose.

Thanks @stevep, changing to xv solved the problem. No new thread required...
