One of the really nice things in Qt4 was that one could take the appearance 
parameters available for individual applications (style, default font but also 
the font replacement table) and set them on a system/user-wide basis via 
qtconfig.

Why is that, and what are the chances to get it back by popular request (or 
"apopular request" if it wasn't all that popular to begin with :)) ?

This is coming from someone working on Linux and OS X, and who thinks that the 
default "aqua" style is a mixed bag. It somehow looks outdated, and spacing 
tends to be much too ample (on non-Retina displays at least). Also, the system 
default font (Lucida Grande) is applied even if this was changed through a 
utility like TinkerTool, and in the point size that even OS X uses only in 
menus and window titlebars (13 or even 14 point). That's just too large for 
most UI elements (and if scaling is done right I presume that to be true on 
Retina displays too).

Cheers,
René
