still don't really get your point.

most of those apps are done by non industry professionals you have nearly no experience with user interface guidelines and/or proper execution of those guidelines.

instead of make a "why are you so ugly thread" you should contact the respective developer and offer your help in a friendly manner.

just saying "they look ugly wft?!" won't help any of us

don't get me wrong, there are a lot of third party apps that have the issues you have mentioned (I wasn't sure in the beginning if you're just talking baout the third party stuff available here at maemo.org or all apps including the native apps) but the way you are pointing fingers at people just won't help any of those developers here at maemo.

so if you really want to help, talk to them, offer your help, but don't go pointing fingers out in the public without really offering an insight why you think there is room for improvement
