For certain definitions of "uglier". Honestly, my Emacs 19s look almost
exactly like my Emacs 18s did. And you know, I like it that way. I
grew up in the "old school" of writing and typesetting. You do not want
a bazillion different fonts in a document; you do not want seemingly
random color changes. These may make the document "pretty" but at the
same time they make the document unreadable. The most readable
documents -- printed or not -- are the ones presented in a clean font
with a minimum of digression for required emphasis. Anything else is
too "busy"; the formatting becomes more important than the content.

And smaller, and... well... sometimes I wish 18.59 would run on Win32.
It would give me some incentive to go polish up my old GNUS-mail
hackery.
