It's actually ugly vector graphics (gnomangelo_bitmap.svg) . I just grab the card
graphics from an F8 or F9 install and drop them into /usr/share/gnome-games-common/cards
and then select something that actually looks decent
I've noticed the same thing playing Patience solitaire. I hope F10
doesn't ship with this situation - it really is ugly and looks like
early pc graphics.
