Modern "visual design principles" are curses.

I'm not sure which principles you disagree with, but I do enjoy a bit of padding and slightly larger fonts. My eyes are old and experience enough strain as it is.

I could do with bucking the low-contrast trend though, that gets my goat

		Yea, I also try pushing fonts as large as possible without sacrificing too much space. I have the following modified fonts for better reading: (choose your own font oc) `# Name of the menu font. MenuFontNameXft="Luxi Sans:size=13" # Menu icon size. MenuIconSize=23 # [8-128] # Name of the normal button font. NormalButtonFontNameXft="Luxi Sans:size=12" # Name of the normal task bar item font. NormalTaskBarFontNameXft="Luxi Sans:size=12" # Name of the font for Alt+Tab switcher window. QuickSwitchFontNameXft="DejaVu Sans Mono:monospace:size=11:bold"` (on ~/.config/icewm/prefoverride or globally /etc/icewm/prefoverride)

		Yes, most icewm styling is probably for a time of 1024x768 display or even smaller.
