What's wrong with it, exactly? It looks like an image to me...

Re: Ugly graphics & fonts

Are you referring to the color banding? And if you are, are you running xcompmgr? If so, it's creating the banding. I don't use xcompmgr, so I don't know anything about shadow settings.

Re: Ugly graphics & fonts

First setup your DPI http://wiki.archlinux.org/index.php/Xor … Size.2FDPI
Then choose correct fonts, filters, setup antialiasing, hinting and what ever else is required until fonts look good to you http://wiki.archlinux.org/index.php/Fonts

the pictures looks ugly to (includeing in GTK apps)

Can't comment on this one.

You need to install an RTFM interface.

Re: Ugly graphics & fonts

could be graphics driver issue

make sure your xorg is configured properly
