It looks so nice on the Mac...! ;o) It's a pity it looks way less 21th Century here on Hardy...
Well, at least Carmen's peak-meters made it into a mainstream branch. (I didn't actually check that they are the same, maybe they aren't...)
If you dislike vanilla appearance of Pd on Linux as much as I do, please try the pd.tk file I sent out sometime last week on this list and report any bugs. Hans has pointed a few that affect other platforms (this one was designed to provide minimal changes while making GUI more 21st century and without affecting Windows or OSX, apart from the few reported bugs) but other than that it appears rock solid here. Bear in mind that it does require tcl/tk 8.5 with antialiasing enabled.
Best wishes,
