Is it possible to change the color/style of the rating stars?

Not sure if this is the right board, lmk if it isn't.

I've been using Strawberry since just before new years, and I love the program. A lot of programs lock you into a specific style choice, but Strawberry allows you to greatly customize your UI, and rather intuitively too.

But there is one thing I can't seem to do: I can't change the color or style of the stars in the rating column. They are grey and blobby, and since I'm using album covers as my background they often blend into parts of the art. Does anyone know how to change their style (or an alternative solution)?I've checked out qt6ct, but that's a rabbit hole I'm lost in.

Hangs on library search with artwork on

parakovsky — Invalid Date

When search displayed in album mode every time the input to search happens software freezes for several seconds, in journal log there is a lot of messages with prefix /usr/lib/gdm3/gdm-x-session DEBUG and file paths of related music files. This seems to be something to do with Gnome, but I am using i3 window manager under Ubuntu, so I think the problem might be laying somewhere in that region. Please help and thank you.

Change block/boom spectrum analyzer to a logarithmic frequency scale by default

I just want to add my support to this suggestion. Most of the time the analyzer looks like this

where most of the right half is blank since it's devoted to higher frequencies above 10kHz which just don't occur at the same rate as lower frequencies in the 100-2000Hz range in most songs, and as @DWW256 points out, these high frequencies aren't audible most of the time. Right now, these low frequencies that we care more about take up only ~20% of the bar.

Use a lighter colours for the Collection Filter QSearchField

IndecisiveAuto — Invalid Date

The placeholder text for the QSearchField in the Collections tab is currently black, making it hard to see on operating systems using a dark Qt theme such as KDE Plasma. Perhaps a lighter grey colour could be used to make it stand out more and this colour would also not clash too much on light themes.

Also, the background of the search field is very close to that of the Collection background, making it blend in even more. Though having lighter placeholder text could potentially mitigate this, changing the colour of the QSearchField could make it more visible to users. For instance, the same colour as the search box above the playlist view.

I investigated potential ways to go about fixing this myself but I'm not that familiar with Qt or the QSearchField library, so I'll leave it open as a feature request.
