I can't reproduce this on latest master. There are a number of bug fixes present on master that haven't yet been released, so I think this issue may already be resolved.

[Rex-0x7CB]

I second this. I installed on Kali Linux, XFCE dark theme and Vocal did not respect the theme settings. Then I tried to add "Linux Unplugged" podcast and it crashed. Here are the logs, if it helps:

Hi! Thanks for reporting these issues! I'm happy to report that Vocal has been largely re-written from the ground up for GTK4/libadwaita, so these issues are now fixed.
