I had followed the desktop capture - a squared field with slightly rounded corners - without thinking of the search bar the phone itself uses. On a phone that pill is the reference, and the app should look like where it runs.
Edits become pills; the memo keeps its sober corners. A magnifier is drawn inside the field, as a circle and a handle rather than a glyph, since no font is guaranteed across devices. Drawing inside a TEdit works - it is only the clickable that does not, which is why the clear cross stays beside it.

Dark.style has no transparent template for an edit or a memo, so a StyleLookup at them fell back silently to the normal one and its grey background - the search field and the log were the last two things clashing with a painted interface. Since the style is vendored anyway, make-style.ps1 rebuilds it from Delphi's with those two backgrounds set to the palette. Reproducible, so a palette change does not quietly lose the patch.
The log is hidden now: it only serves diagnosis and it was taking a third of the screen at every launch. A Journal button beside the server settings brings it back.
