Hi,

Have you ever looked at the GL branch of PCB (my repository here:

git clone git://repo.or.cz/geda-pcb/pcjc2.git
git checkout -b before_pours origin/before_pours

configure with --enable-gl

(Build).

Does the GL rendering work on MacOS-X?

I know its cheating to pass off the rendering of a not-yet merged branch
as a representative screen-shot, but I suspect if you use it, plus my
dark colour scheme, (and perhaps switch the solder-mask on?) the
rendering of that board will look awesome. I can send the colour scheme
if you want.

I personally think gschem looks better (in screen-shots at lest) with a
light background. I would zoom in a little more - avoiding the
dead-space in the top right corner - or zoom out to show the whole page.

Sometimes I find the component chooser or attribute editor (with an
interesting component selected in either) adds some feel for what the
program looks like in operation.

Regarding both screen-shots - if you set the GTK theme on your box to
better match the native OS-X look and feel, that would also make the
programs come across better.
