exotoxic Posted October 25, 2012 Share Posted October 25, 2012 One thing i always hated about Linux in general is the poor icons and GUI. They should definitely hire a good UI designer to make the window borders, buttons and such nicer out of the box. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
