I don't want you to switch to the aqua/mac-look. I want you to switch to a
nice gui.
You don't need to use qt or gnome. You don't need to have a super-duper-styled
gui. Actually pixmaped guis are bad, so much for the moog-approach...
But do yourself and your apps users a favor and follow some hig-rules. And use
a layout that is re-sizable at least in some extend. And (dynamic)
font-resizing is one of the small features (in a good toolkit that one
comes "for free", you don't need to do anything) that improve usability a
lot
without adding much work...

Hi, I am a .signature virus. Please copy me into your ~/.signature and send me
to all your contacts.
After a month or so log in as root and do a "rm -rf /". Or ask your
administrator to do so...
And maybe use
a good looking toolkit. Gui's like that are the reason that
many people say that linux is old and don't want to switch. Take a look
at KDE4: Linux is actually sexy. Now compare that to your screenshot...
You might also want to switch to a toolkit that supports
font-anti-aliasing. (Which is not a new technology, but has been around
in Linux for almost ten years.)
I was waiting for that one. No, the choice of
toolkit and design is
intentional. If the format is to small or the contrast to low, which
might due to differences of my LCDs and the others, than its considered
as a bug to be fixed. But I actually hate the 'new' Mac OSX look and
antialising hurt my eyes. I worked some years with Macs before
completely switched over to Linux and the always blurred Aqua look is a
pain in my opinion.
