Well, it is a Swing app and Swing apps on Linux look atrocious. Especially the font rendering looks like taken from Linux distributions from 10 years ago.
When you see this on the first run, it kind of successfully undermines the argument about ridiculous attention to detail. I know that Swing is not under JetBrains' control, but Eclipse looks fine.
- MBCook 14y agoIntelliJ used to look quite a bit like a Swing app. At least on OS X, going from 10 to 11 was a major visual improvement. You can tell it's not native, but it's MUCH closer than it used to be.
- Flow 14y agoI don't use Linux, but IntelliJ uses native font rendering in Linux according to their blog. Give it a try.
- vamega 14y agoCan you point me to where on their blog they mention they're using native font rendering? http://stackoverflow.com/a/12976496 http://stackoverflow.com/a/12976496 shows me that they aren't using native font rendering.
- Flow 14y agoHmm, I don't use Linux myself so I can't really be 100% sure. But I found the info here. Maybe they don't mean "platform rendering engine" when they say "system fonts"? http://blog.jetbrains.com/webide/2012/10/phpstorm-webstorm-5-0-2-released/ http://blog.jetbrains.com/webide/2012/10/phpstorm-webstorm-5...
