I use hybrid in vim and base16 in everything else and that's about the best I've found so far. The base16 "builder" seems like it supports the most things:

Telegram bills itself as secure, which comes with a rather large burden of proof if anyone is to take you seriously.

As the saying goes: "don't roll your own crypto, unless you're a professional cryptographer, and even then…". Telegram are not cryptographers but decided to roll their own anyway and have come in for not a little flack as a result.

Search for "telegram app crypto criticism" and you'll find plenty of examples of this.

Is Telegram secure? I'm not qualified to answer that, but I understand enough to be sceptical.

Is Whatsapp secure? If not, and they're both insecure, then I think Telegram makes a better choice, if for nothing else than its better multi-platform support.

It's worth noting that there is already an open source browser project to recreate + extend the Opera 12 UI: Otter Browser

> On a related note, is there any multi network app that supports video?

Yes, both Pidgin and Empathy support voice and video calling via XMPP. I suspect you'd need to use a "standard" XMPP server though - it wouldn't work over gtalk or facebook chat for instance.

You're probably already aware of this, but just in case: it's possible to force Swing (and AWT) apps to use the system's font rendering with the "swing.aatext" and "awt.useSystemAAFontSettings" respectively.

I have the following in my IDEA .desktop file:

export _JAVA_OPTIONS='-Dawt.useSystemAAFontSettings=on -Dswing.aatext=true' && idea.sh %u

This is the result: http://i.imgur.com/3V9Nf3k.png

Thanks and yes I've played with those settings.

While much better not quite right still and also I have some screens rotated so I have hrgb and vrgb which looks fuzzy, I played with setting it to gasp/lcd.

Using Terminus because it is a pixel perfect font with no aliasing means that rotation etc just don't matter.
