By default Cirrus looks really bad running under Ubuntu because Cirrus uses QT and Ubuntu does not include any decent QT3 themes. This is fairly easy to fix, however. From the command-line run:
sudo apt-get install qt3-qtconfig polymer kde-style-klearlook
Then download and unzip the attached qtrc.zip into you ~/.qt directory (or ~/.qt3 if you have that instead). If you don't have either, then create ~/.qt and put it there (fyi ~ means you home directory)
After copying the file run:
/usr/bin/qtconfig-qt3
- On the first tab select either Polymer or Plastik as the "GUI Style" if it isn't already selected
- I changed the font on the fonts tab to "Bitstream Vera Sans"
- You can mess with whatever else you want to change the look of qt apps like Cirrus
- Save and exit qtconfig
I attached a before and after screenshot of Cirrus running on my system.
