Wow, this is great. Thank you.

So basically: I "just" roughly guess what UI element a section of QSS is affecting, try patching it to see what it does, rinse/repeat?

Now if only the QML was also accessible 😅

(I've been building web stuff since 1995. One of my first jobs was doing the embedded web-based UI for ruggedized WiFi routers. Poking through the extracted resources linked above brings back memories. e.g.: resources for multiple devices and partner branded editions all living in the same directory…)

Nickel is QtWidgets, not QML. You'll have to reverse the setupui functions if you want to conclusively determine what is what. There is also a ShowWidget dev option which draws widget names.

But yeah, it's mostly trial and error until you develop an intuition for how nickel works.
