So it was a planned change in GUI style then?

​It appears to be the issue with Qt theme.

In linux one can override the theme by using e.g. environmental variable
​QT_STYLE_OVERRIDE.

E.g. i can do
QT_STYLE_OVERRIDE=windows octave

and i get something similar to your "ugly" picture

​or
QT_STYLE_OVERRIDE=breeze octave

​or
​QT_STYLE_OVERRIDE=oxygen octave

​The style that resembles most of your old picture is "fusion"
​QT_STYLE_OVERRIDE=fusion octave

This is all on linux running Gnome desktop.
I have no idea if and how this will work on Windows.

Dmitri.
