The glide wrapper isn't going to improve your IQ really, though it does dramatically boost performance.

I'm guessing you are complaining about AA not smoothing things out, D2's sprites have some ugly artifacts and dithering thanks to the lossy compression they used. AA can smooth these artifacts out.

On some NVIDIAs and definitely Voodoos, AA was trully full-scene, it went and blended every single freaking pixel.

On ATI cards after a certain point, AA now only applies to pixels on the edges of polygons, no-where else. This is pretty useless for D2 which is basically sprites.

I tried looking for a hack that would do this older kind of AA but couldn't find any.

On the other hand, there are smartshaders. Put on the Blur one and those artifacts will bother you less. However I found this too blurred for my tastes and made reading text too difficult. If someone could code and implement a weaker blur then I imagine this will be perfect.

There are also some dithering issues but this is really only noticable on poison clouds and large puddles of blood.

Only other thing I can think of, though it would seem pretty obvious, is to flip perspective mode on or off.
