That sounds very probable. It looks like something from the past, a little
bit like windows 95. But I liked it.
It could also be that they are so keen on other things that they just do not
care about it looking nice.
Does anyone know how to make LXDE look like this?
Is that Trisquel 7's default appearance? It looks good.
I'll try this out -- thanks Garsmith
I wonder whether the unattractiveness helps with marketing. Maybe the idea
is that potential users will think LXDE is ugly -- and so committed to being
light-weight!
Sorry about being late to the party.
Yes, it can.
I played around a bit today with Trisquel 6.0.1 mini in VirtualBox and this
is the result. This is what I did...
Background from Trisquel 7 20140807 disc.
Panel color: #DFDFDF
Panel applets:
Menu
Space: 8
Application Launch Bar
Space: 8
Task Mar (Windows List) - Stretched
Volume Control
It is as if default LXde is designed to be as ugly as possible.
However, when I used to have a 2003 laptop, i started to rather like it after
a bit.
Yep, sorry. You're right. That was the wrong link. Maybe another one can
help:

Ok, this looks way better than the original lxde.
I mean, why using a color-gradient for the bottom bar which makes it look
like a 3-dimensional cylinder while all the icons look 2-dimensional?
What were they thinking??
Yes, it can look nice as you can see here:

The link shows how Trisquel-Mini looks by default. There are quite some
options to customize it.
Those are all screenshots of the default GNOME DE, not Trisquel-Mini.
Is this what it looks like in Trisquel Mini 7?

Are there any (easy) customization options? Things like colour, font,
text-size, an icon dock.
