Hi Olio,

Stating that your program is 'too ugly to use' without giving any pointers is easy to misinterpret!

For me the the interface is excellent but yeah, maybe some small details could use attention.
There are some good points in what you illustrate.
The alignment of the input boxes may probably mean smaller numbers though...

The generic icons ones like history, undo and options could be better but could easily be worse.
I really like all the other icons for functions though.

I gather it's different for everybody.

Maybe general Hue/Saturation/Lightness sliders would be a simple solution for users who doesn't like the current color?
