Agreed.

However, the first and perhaps only modern user interface feature I find lacking in the screenshot is font anti-aliasing. At a regular viewing distance of about three feet, I find the text much more difficult to read than the fonts rendered by Windows 10 elsewhere on my screen.

Enable a quality subpixel font rendering engine onto that tastefully minimal UI and I think you'd have something real nice.



I've tried to use anti-aliasing but for menus and titlebars it looks quite weird to my taste. Maybe it's a libfreetype packaged with CentOS? I don't know. I left this question unanswered for the future.


OTOH we now have 4K screens on laptops where you don't really need antialiasing anymore. Maybe Nextspace is simply ahead of the curve here.
