ugly looking VirtualBox on Gutsy?
November 4th, 2007
So you installed VirtualBox on your new Gutsy Gibbon but got a little shocked when you noticed that your VirtualBox was wearing and ugly Motif-looking theme with ugly large fonts? Me too. And here is how to fix this.
First you have to install the packages qt3-qtconfig and polymer:
Then run Qt Configuration, which you can find in System → Preferences → Qt Configuration. In the Appearance tab go to GUI Style and choose Polymer. Then go to the Fonts tab and a select a nice looking font (my favorite one is Verdana, point size 10). Save your configuration (Ctrl-S) and start VirtualBox. It should be looking nice and cool again.
