We have not changed the detection mechanism and in principle 8265 cards
should be supported. When selecting 'Network → Wifi' in the leitzentrale
the driver messages are printed to the LOG. Perhaps it contains more
information to pin point the apparent issue.

In theory most of Sculpt's current UI is already themeable, for all
practical purposes the required hooks are not in place (yet).


FWIW, I created a proof-of-concept port of lvgl [1] some years ago. One
limitation of lvgl at the time was the inability to change the display
geometry dynamically, which did restrict its application somewhat (AFAIK
this features was added in a more recent version).

In line with what Cedric already mentioned it is about providing
alternatives to Qt when realizing client components as nitpicker is
the grey eminence pull strings in the background and orchestrating
things.
