I think it's far from ugly.

I've repeatedly tried to set up a UI as sophisticated as this and have utterly failed every time.

As I've been chopping and changing between machines lately though, I've been reaquanted with the default UI. It really isn't that bad. I've added X-Perl for party cast bars, Prat and Clearfont for easy-on-the-eyeness, quartz, and errormonster/bug grabber (or whatever it's called) and I'm doing just fine tbh.

My biggest problem is keeping the various machines in sync.
