Public bug reported:

Running VLC in the Ubuntu Wayland session on 17.10 results in bigger
fonts and menus, default blue window decoration and no style applied
when default is selected in the settings menu.

I can set a different style than the default and after some poking
around and installing some packages (adwaita-qt qt5-gtk-platformtheme
qt5-style-plugins, also vlc refused to run I had to install qtwayland5)
I was able to successfully set Adwaita or gtk+, but I found no solution
for the window decorations and huge text.

I'm not sure if this is a problem with qt5 and light-themes or Wayland.

- I checked Fedora 26 with Gnome Shell, were the application is rendered as 
expected (see attached screenshots). I checked on 2 different laptops where I'm 
currently testing 17.10. Both Ubuntu and Fedora ship VLC 3.
- A similar bug appears to have been reported upstream: 
https://trac.videolan.org/vlc/ticket/17929
- I also searched the Arch Linux wiki for more information, but got no further 
than this:
