I agree, but at least it is better than this:


(to clarify: I know this is a desktop UI but the design and it's old but the fact that it's still being used in some cases makes it suck more)

Looking at the figures in xterm where "top" is running you have a total of 500 megs of system memory where X11 and Motif take up less the 15 megs. That's pretty impressive even by today's standards.

It looks terrible!
It looks awful!

Do you think you can approach this in a constructive way? In other words, why is it terrible and what could they do to improve it? Are you aware that there are several themes available (and the ability to make your own), and the one from the screenshot is just one of them?

But a UI with text on transparent background is not pleasant.

That's a theme with transparent background. I don't like it either. Most of them have darken the background to improve text visibility.

Bad comparison.
One is a desktop environment, the other is a mobile environment.
One is from 1987, the other one is from 2019.

Compared to contemporary mobile environments such as Android and iOS it is awful.

What I meant is that at least it's slightly better than old bezeled no-anti-alias design... but you won again since I'm too late.

They got a nice phone with a physical keyboard, that is cool.
The software is Linux, that is cool.

I own a fairphone for two weeks. I wanted to try sailfish OS on it but I first tried Ubuntu Touch and it works very well so I keep using it at the moment.

It looks terrible!

I get why you might not like it, but are you aware it is a theme in a light mode? They added that recently, the default are still dark themes, and they do look fabulous, like in that video malkavian posted above.
