Sad but true...
I actually fought with the linux UI for ages to make it look visually appealing. Invariably I always ended up using MS Window fonts, and Mac-style UI.
If you look closely at the screenshot you'll notice that it'll only take a few minor adjustments to make it actually look appealing:
- Appropriate fonts (rather than those overly rounded ones)
- Slimming down of grotesquely large UI text boxes.
- Slimming down of grotesquely large dropdown controls.
- NOT using rounded corners everywhere.
You'd be amazed how radically the UI can be improved from just these minor changes.
Ironic that they chose this screenshot, given that GIMP is a project mainly concerned with graphics and visuals.
- zokier 17y agoLooks like it uses native widgets and fonts, as it should (GTK stands for GIMP ToolKit after all). If it looks bad, GTK (or its theme) is to blame, not GIMP itself. BUT I think you are correct, some UI elements, especially in the palettes are too large.
