.. stick with this team and whatever distro they make because they are the best

You can say that again - I would even shout it (but you would disallow that ).

Besides tiny fonts, don't forget monochrome icons everywhere, and grey-on-grey text. Then it will be really modern.

freefreeno,

Icon and UI styles change, fads come and go. First it's 3d icons, then subtle 3d hinting, and bam- Apple or someone declares flat looking icons are the wave of the future !

If you don't like how your desk top looks, you have so many degrees of freedom... themes, icon sets, sizing, different desk top environments (like in antix iceWM, Fluxbox, JWM and permutations).
It's open source, there are lots of options, and as written above, it takes some digging, to find the options, the scripts, where you can make things look just about any way you want.

If you search in xfce forums, you can see other options.

We also support users modifying MX however they like and making their own distro from it. Snapshot! Archive.org makes distributing it quite easy. Then the marketplace can decide!

Honestly, I haven't found any more freedom than in here, not to mention the great devs and community that are always willing to help. With MX I can do anything I want, from changing its appearance (not a fan of flat icons and not very fond of XFCE) to actually create a snapshot of the system adjusted the way I like it. Other distros have been removing features but MX is consistently making choices easier to handle without taking them away. From my perspective, that shows how much devs are committed to the user's freedom; I am deeply thankful for that.

I think we've been trolled. :)
The OP seems to have ducked and run?

That's my suspicion as well, though he has made more than 50 posts on the Forum.

Bought out some good comments, though.

Well, the prettification of this distro is a gradual process.
We are improving all the time but certainly there is still some way to go . I like that there are targets and milestones to aim for.

And people with artistic abilities who can create nice icons for the MX apps are always welcome to contribute them to the community.
