Research direction
The issue reports a broken GUI style in Persepolis, likely due to incorrect Qt stylesheet settings. First, reproduce the issue on Linux Mint 19.2 with Cinnamon. Check the main UI files in 'persepolis/gui' for any hardcoded colors or theme overrides. Look for files like 'styles.py' or 'qss' resources. The user's screenshots show broken layout; perhaps a missing or incorrect stylesheet path. Since the issue is old and unaddressed, consider testing with the latest Persepolis version to see if it persists. If it does, verify the stylesheet loading logic in the initialization code.
