I'm big fan of your program on windows :)
Thank you

Thanks for reporting the issue. Do the icons look pixelated too? I'm thinking whether it's a DPI scaling problem or QLabel's font anti-aliasing problem.

Also, do you know how to compile and run the project? It would really help resolve the issue.

It involves downloading Qt (and Qt creator) here, opening the project inside Qt creator and clicking the Run button in the left bottom corner.

Sorry for replaying late

Yes, they are

I can walk through it 👍

I can reproduce the problem now. It happens in HiDPI displays. Looking for the cause.

The subtitle font is pixelated only when shadow is applied. A temporary fix is to disable the shadow.

It is a bug in Qt's QGraphicsEffect. This issue should be related. I will try to compile the project for macOS using Qt 5.9 though it is still in beta stage.

I have recompiled it using Qt 5.9 and there is no more pixelation. I'll use Qt 5.9 to compile the next release for Mac, which will happen in a few days.

@bomkarram the new release is ready. Please try v1.0.1 and let me know whether it is fixed. Thanks!
