Thanks for trying and reporting back!
FWIW toolkit and visual rendering matters are important, but only
a subset of what I meant with desktop integration / HIG / consistent
UI & UX. I'm confident we can easily fix the widgets & fonts via
purely technical means, but the HIG part is about GUI *design*:
https://developer.gnome.org/hig/stable/
Now, of course I agree that we should not hold a-c-w to a higher
standard than the future Tor Launcher in this respect.
My point here is to highlight this important criterion while it's
still time to adjust the design, rather than at a latter time when
developers might be more defensive since they consider the new thing
as finished ;)
Cheers!
