Looking at that screenshot, even though I’ve been a very happy KDE user for many years now, I do kinda miss the days when many Xfree86 desktop environments were influenced more by NeXTStep than Windows.
The Motif look, what we are looking at here, is driven by the same UI guidelines that early Windows and OS/2 followed. You will notice a lot of similarity between them.
Thanks, I spent a couple of hours playing around with that. It didn’t work quite right but still I’ve got some glorious retro ugliness going on. A mishmash of CDE, Windows 2000 icons and KDE 5, it’s mental and I love it.

Yeah, I long for window decorations and borders like that. Anyone know a good KDE 5 theme that does it?
There’s a very similar theme called Commonality
Commonality and Irixium are great.
Gorgeous. I need someone to pick up Cantata.

Absolutely delightful, thankyou!
