I just installed version 5 on windows and the appearance changed quite dramatically. On version 4 there were some different options called "Qt windows style", which appear to be gone. Is the new look an intrinsic part of version 5?

Hi,

Yes, the new appearance is intrinsic to Spyder now and can't be changed, sorry. That allows us to maintain a consistent look-and-feel accross different operating systems and both for the dark and light themes.

Cheers,
Carlos

Hi,

I prefer the standard theme of version 4 as well. The new themes plane grey background colour is too dark and doesn't go well with the white widget background colour.

It would be great if the community was able to create their own spyder themes. With some advisory help I would like to help implementing such a feature.

I also noticed that the icons in the buttons are very small compared to the buttons themselves on the Linux machine:
