Most chess programs are ugly. There are only a couple of non-ugly ones.

1. On Mac OS X, ChessPuzzle looks decent: http://www.applepi.com/chesspuzzle/
2. On Windows XP, Mayura Chess Board looks good: http://www.mayura.com/chess

Both are free, and both use sjeng as the chess engine.

Some people like the ui of ChessMaster 9000, personally I find it repulsive.
