I'm trying to play with FreeBSD 5.4 a little and having trouble with look-and-feel issues. Fonts, menus, and sometimes icons look a bit ugly. Here are some screenshots: http://tiresias.dyndns.org/~moy/screenshots/ I tried using Fedora's gtkrc but that didn't help, so either it's not a GTK issue or I wasn't doing it right. I've added the various bluecurve packages, browsed through FreeBSD FAQs, and tried gtk[2]-theme-switch; that didn't help either. I should also note that when I previewed the Bluecurve theme in gtk2-theme-switch, it didn't really look like the Bluecurve I'm used to. Any ideas? Thanks, Moy (Please cc me on replies.)
