Linux = Ugly

(1/9) > >>

billy_gates:
Why is it that Linux seems to be very ugly.  Some things look good then others look ok and then some thing look horrible.  For example RH8 Gnome File Browser is awesome looking, but when I go into Mozilla or something all the text is not antialiased.  Then I open a program like the thing used to rebuild the kernel and it is horribly ugly with little triangles for buttons?  What is up with this?

Doogee:
Shame Shame Shame

Calum:
themes, skins, font and colour settings. surely they even have these control panel type applets in windows? have you ever looked for a settings dialogue to adjust these things you criticise? almost every program i have used has settings to change how it looks.

billy_gates:
why can't they make it look good off the bat.  I admit Windows has some inconsistancies (especially when dealing with outdated software).  But I don't use Windows.  I'm spoiled by OSX's good looks.  I try to use Linux of my "leftover" pc's but it is so damn ugly, and I can rarely compile a program without getting an error, its very frustrating.

pkd_lives:
What are you talking about?

Everything looks good in Linux. I have RH8.0 and it makes M$ look ugly, ugly, ugly.

My question is why do graphics look better in Linux than M$, why do images look 10x better on a system running Linux, why do so many fonts look better in Linux?, some look worse and there is anti-aliasing issues it seems, but none the less, everything looks better in Linux.

Just open your browser on a site with well written code, and it looks fugly in Windows, but not in Linux. I have yet to see ugly in Linux, occasional issues with certain things yes, but never ever ever ugly.
