Another big improvement in Wpf 4.0 is that it respects the ClearType settings from Windows, which previous versions ignored.
Blurry fonts affected some computers more than others. For instance, looking at the screenshot from .Net 3.5 two posts above, it's hard to find much fault with the font rendering. That screenshot came from my laptop, where I did a pretty close comparison between 3.5 and 4.0. On that laptop there is almost no difference. However my desktop computer saw a big improvement in font legibility.
The icon improvements were actually in the Toolbox, not the toolbar as I originally wrote. ePubHub had been using a 3rd party icon class that did proper snap-to-pixel rendering of icons everywhere in the app but it wouldn't work in the toolbox. The new native snap-to-pixel rendering looks just as good and renders with a lot less overhead.
