Which with hindsight may have been a mistake, as modules has come out of
experimental rather sooner than either of the other two. So there is no
particular technical reason to enable either Themes or Smart Record at
this point.

Is there a way to achieve this, short of going through manually building
a theme file that matches the old appearance? I tried to use the "return
to defaults" button but it didn't appear to do anything.

Because of the above I have themes turned off locally if I actually want
to do anything with audacity, because the lack of contrast and small
buttons are otherwise a major pain.
