The wallpaper is one of the standard XBM images included with the X11 distribution (in OpenBSD, it’s at /usr/X11R6/include/X11/bitmaps/mensetmanus).

The fonts are the Modern DOS collection (8x8 for the battery status, 8x16 for the terminal). The window titles use the classic bitmap Helvetica which has no antialiasing and gives it a unique “Vintage system” vibe.

I was going to give it a full CDE install, but the build guides don’t seem to work right; I might switch to SparkyLinux for this machine because suspending fails just often enough to be annoying.

      And you know… I don’t hate it. I think if I can maintain usability I may actually try theming like this soon. Everything comes back around eventually. Digging the silly “Hackers” vibe.

    One cannot but admire the style and sophistication provided by the Motif toolkit, with it generously broad bezels, tall bars and deep, deep borders.

    TWM users can barely suppress their jealousy.
