> desktop - an Xfce-based desktop with common tools

I would have expected OpenLook. Xfce is ugly.

Oh, Open Look is there too. Although I always found Open Look, like SunView before it, to be pretty unpleasant to use.

I would expect CDE (or NsCDE).

  • It is not designed to be “retro”, like a toy. While it prefers many older, simpler technologies, it is designed to be used.

    XFCE is much more functional than CDE.

What's so ugly about it? The window decorations? The gtk-theme(which can be changed easily anyway), the file-manager, the panel(s)?
