XMonad is just a window manager and it does not tweak with settings like fonts, cursor, background or any appearance at all.<div>I&#39;m guessing that you&#39;re running xmonad without a DE (Desktop Environment, which is a set of apps that let you easily adjust these this).</div>


<div>If you find too difficult (I do) to set them manually (gathering specific apps, commands and config files),</div><div>you can use xmonad <b>with</b> a DE like gnome (I use XFCE), so you won&#39;t miss their easiness.</div>

Hello everybody! I just moved from gnome to xmonad and think it&#39;s good. I prefer fonts not to be smoothed, so in gnome I use gnome-appearance-settings and set the smoothing option to &#39;none&#39; (other options are &#39;gray scale&#39; and &#39;subpixel&#39;). How to configure those in xmonad? (By default, the fonts in firefox in xmonad are smoothed.), and how to set the background and text colors of applications in general?<div>
