Hi!
Basically like in topic. Does anyone know why fonts on disabled text looks fuzzy/blurry on dark gtk theme? Light theme looks good. https://imgur.com/FgjOLdJ

Tried google to solve the problem. No luck... Thanks for your help.

This is not related to dwm. It is due to how gtk draws inactive text in your theme. If you zoom in, there is a shadow effect, created by displaying the same text twice. First the "shadow" is applied in white (or very light gray), then again in gray over the shadow.

you can try play with font configuration https://wiki.archlinux.org/index.php/Font_configuration or change gtk theme (can be broke) or try another font.

Installing gtk-engine-murrine solved the problem!
