Differently than Pharo, VW etc where the rendering happens inside Smalltalk, in VA Smalltalk, its native. And so, there are differences in the implementations between Unix and Windows. The version in Windows is "much less ugly" than the one on Linux. In the upcoming release we have also added HiDPI, as you can see here: https://twitter.com/MartinezPeck/status/1063432539908571136 And in 9.1, we did fix many UI related things for the Linux flavor, included the shortcuts. If you are still facing issues, please contact us separately (not to spam Pharo list) Best, -- Mariano Martinez Peck Email: marianop...@gmail.com Twitter: @MartinezPeck LinkedIn: https://www.linkedin.com/in/mariano-mart%C3%ADnez-peck/
