In the 90s - when SuSE CD bundles were called after the year of release (SuSE 1995 - I still have a shrinkwraped original in the archive) fvwm with the default ugliest-of-all colorscheme was used as a default. How I hated the look, how I loved to hack it :) And then there were the "emulate Windows95" mockups (look ok, functionality not so). OpenLook with it's 2 versions of windows mangers that nobody could really knew why - but IMO it was the second "real" DE besides CDE ... well, besides it was easy to be programmed it's probably a good thing kids don't get exposed to this stuff any more, it'll leave permanent brain damage. I have FVWM on my FreeBSD x61 though, highly customized (as this is what FVWM is good for). In fact, I can do things with it that I cannot do on TDE, but that's a different storry :) Nik > > Gianluca > > On Fri, 1 Dec 2023, Felix Miata via tde-users wrote: > > > I only just found this.
