Imagine this situation: you can't change overall sunshine hours, but you can change it pattern. How would you change it and would you change it at all?

Not too much, but I would slightly lower the sunshine in summer and slightly increase the sunshine in winter.

I'd make it less sunny in winter. As for summer sunshine, I'd keep it about the same. Maybe increase it a tiny bit, but not by much.

No change for me. There is roughly equal percentages in all months here, and that suits me just fine.

Having a grey season is one of the worst climate characteristics.

I'd make the winters as sunny and dry as the summers are now but keep the average temps the same even if it meant very gloomy summers as a consequence

I would keep it as it is.
Winter days with high pressure here are often colder than the overcast gloomy ones, as temperature largely drops during the night (inversion) and each day become gradually colder than the previous.
The other three seasons already get a nice amount of sunshine and summer is perfectly sunny as it is.

I'd just keep it the same. I prefer the sunniest and driest weather to be in summer.

I would keep it as it is. If i could change the total number of sunshine, i would raise the number of sunshine hours in winter by 50 hours and in summer by about 30 hours.

More in winter less in summer. Gloomy winters and dry summers are both depressing to me.

If we're talking about raising now, I definitely wouldn't mind an additional 30 to 50 hours per month!!!
