I installed vlc-git from the Chaotic-AUR and I am speechless.

Doesn't it use whatever theme you have your DE set to by default?

Honestly, I don't know - I haven't fiddled with the themes much on my Linux installations. All I can say is that currently, for the 3.x series, out of the box VLC looks very similar between Windows, Debian (KDE Plasma) and Linux Mint (Cinnamon) - all three of which are arguably different DEs.

A couple of other comments have flagged that this is the new 4.x UI, which certainly explains the difference.
