For this I'd use a stylesheet with type or class selectors, no need to
override everything in a style, it can be actually annoying if you
remove padding to buttons. It is also easy to customize without
recompiling.

To do it the QStyle-way you would have to define your own style
inherited from one of the existing styles and override methods like
layoutSpacing().

Not worth it, IMO, and you would remove the possibility for the user
to use a different style, unless you used a proxy design pattern
(create a style that wraps up the user-selected style and proxy every
method except layoutSpacing()). That's, incidentally, how Qt
stylesheets work, IIRC.

Earlier in this thread I've included an example on how to use a
stylesheet. Try that, really, you will wake up to the sheer glory of
stylesheets.
