Public bug reported:
When launching VLC from the sound indicator applet, the QT UI theme is
wrong. The theme is correct when launched from Unity launcher or
terminal. Please see the attached screenshots.
I've tracked it down to a difference in environment in the VLC process:
When launched from indicator-sound, the variable
GNOME_DESKTOP_SESSION_ID is unset, and this causes VLC to become themed
incorrectly. (If the variable is given any value, then VLC looks
correct.)
To reproduce, either:
1) Launch VLC from indicator-sound (make sure it's not already running and has
been started from somewhere else)
2) Or just start VLC like this from terminal:
$ GNOME_DESKTOP_SESSION_ID= vlc
Not sure whether this is a general bug in QT (since, apparently,
GNOME_SESSION_DESKTOP_ID is deprecated), a bug in indicator-sound for
not setting GNOME_SESSION_DESKTOP_ID, or just a bug in VLC.
