Hi,
after some research at SAOL (svenska akademins ordlista), the difference seems to be in that
stygg = bad behaviour in general (especially children), a possible synonym is disobedient. Elak (somewhat close
to evil) would be then wanting to hurt others.
dålig = bad quality of something (taste etc.), being bad at something
