I looked recently into elementaryOS in my quest for a good looking and functional linux distro, as it has been touted for being a good looking distro. It has too many UI problems to my liking. Look at this picture from the OP: http://taoofmac.com/media/AvRn9_F_JHGrGsCSlJwydak6BTc=/blog/2016/10/29/2240/photos.jpg http://taoofmac.com/media/AvRn9_F_JHGrGsCSlJwydak6BTc=/blog/... [edit: the one with caption "Zooming in on a NASA image I had handy"]. - There is a lack of contrast for the text in the left bar. - The icons in the bottom bar are off: the colors are dull too (too low saturation is a common theme in elementaryOS). - The size of the icons in the bottom bar is also off. They are way to big if you compare them to the main navigation (left bar). The visual hierarchy is not ok. If you ask me: the best looking linux distro atm is manjaro kde.
