After Bapestar pointed this app out, I've been tinkering around with it a bit. The default smoothing looked ghastly on my crt, however I've managed to achieve a decent look after some inspired tinkering with the settings. Since there was no other thread on this, I decided to create this one to ask if anyone else has tried it out and if yes, how did you configure it properly.

What did you do for that?

The only app that looks like that without GDI++ is iTunes.

I've had it for a bit now. Great improvement, but it messes up lucida grande on objectbar.

How did you configure it (share the ini file you use)? And can it work with explorer? I can't make it to...

Like i mentioned, you shouldn't have messed around with the settings if you didn't know what you were doing.


You never know what an app is capable of.

i think i was using a pre-smoothened font, because windowsblinds 6 gives you the option to change the default font

Well, the default was looking horrible and I did kind of repair it. I didn't make anything worse than it was, and the defaults are backed up, so I fail to see why I should lay off. :)

Hm, I just right clicked > enable.

Works fine so far, although pre smoothed fonts do look a little too bold.

@Bapestar, could you put up a screenie of how it looks? I put opera and safari side be side and tweaked it so they looked the most similar...I wanted to see if the defaults on your were the same? Post your ini file too. :)

Nice app. It renders fonts pretty nice.

The only problem I'm having is that the title font in all windows is, or replaced by these ugly font, or having some kind of rendering problem. Anyone with the same problem in Windows Vista?

The text seems a bit too bold in yours, that's how it was on default for me too.
