Change Up the Style Dialog's Tabs
Your idea
Currently, the style dialog looks like this.
The right side, the content of the tabs, looks fine. However, the left side could be improved (see "Problem to be Solved" section). I suggest the following improvements:
- A search bar at the top
- UI similar to the one used to select instruments
- Icons?
Problem to be solved
I have identified the following issues with the tab selector:
- Cluttered
- Hard-to-read text
- Hard to search for what I need

Additional context
This is my first time writing an issue for MuseScore, and I am still generally unfamiliar with the developmental zeitgeist. Please forgive any transgressions I might have incurred as a result of this issue.

There's also the issue I reported here, #26921. IIRC, the dialog should be overhauled in the future.
@UltrioG Your transgressions are hereby forgiven. You'll be pleased to know we're going to completely rebuild this nightmarish dialog (for 5.x).
@its-not-nice Thank you Mr. """Simon""", it's incredible how fast this team responds. I'll keep this issue open until that happens then! (Unless that's against any Codes of Conduct in which case I will close the issue posthaste)
