I've seen other posts about how the font in the desktop app is either huge or impossibly small, but in my installation (Win 7), the font just looks bad. There's no anti-aliasing on any of the text in the app; it's very harsh and pixelated. Is this normal? My screen resolution is set to 1920x1080.
Thanks for the screenshot @kurzninja!
It looks like you're using a beta version of the desktop app. I'd suggest downgrading to the latest stable version to see if that helps with the interface.
To do this, first toggle off "Early releases" from the bottom of your account settings page here. Then, download and install the latest stable from here.
Let me know if this helps!

Hello @kurzninja, I'm sorry to hear about that!
Just to make sure I understand exactly what you're seeing, can you send me a screenshot of how the app looks? Does the issue persists if you reboot your device?
Also, which version of the desktop app do you have installed on your computer?
Let me know and we can take it from there!

According to the Preferences > General tab I'm using Dropbox v90.3.298. I'll attach a direct screen capture. My computer gets rebooted often.Edited by Moderator

Upgrading to the latest stable version fixed it right up. Thanks!
I'm glad to hear that did the trick @kurzninja!
I'm just a post away if you need anything else, I'd be happy to help.
Have a great weekend ahead!
