Windows XP Fischer-Price theme (the default XP theme) - just because it's such a no brainer interface - like giving the windows nice shiny curves will make it a better OS.

Windows XP is Windows 2000 SP3 in drag (XP Home is like 2000 with some err, essential bits cut off).

openbox, mostly the same as fluxbox/blackbox but fits me a bit better (i don't use tabs and like the support for gtk and qt apps)

what's with all these fluxbox people?? hmm maybe i should try flux...but right now i am fine with my kde...it's not as slow as some people make it out to be..runs just fine on my crapbox

Right now Im using gnome2.2 ,ROX Filer (with pinboard) and sawfish.
This week Ive been through various combinations of fluxbox, kicker panels, gnome-panel, metacity and gnome-session. I always use ROX Filer though instead of nautilus.
For years I used gnome and enlightenment, but enlightenment isnt gnome-compliant any more since gnome2 so ive been wandering.
I might actually switch to gnme2 and sawfish permanently the 2.5.65 kernel that Im using now makes the desktop a little more snappy and sawfish windows no longer have the "sticky" behaviour when you move them around.

I'm a KDE user, but I liked Window Maker and fluxbox back when I tried them. Yes, I like to tinker with stuff, but when it comes to Linux, it was nice to see a ready-to-go GUI. I may delve into fluxbox some more while keeping KDE by my side.

snocked · 03-21-2003, 12:30 PM

I don't like all the desktop icons and soft gui look with KDE. I prefer the minimalistic fluxbox.

Proud · 03-21-2003, 12:32 PM

I think I'll migrate to Flux when I can configure it easily, atm I prefer KDE most of the time too, though it is much slower.

I like fluxbox or blackbox...however, kde isn't really that slow on a faster pc.

Proud · 03-21-2003, 01:49 PM

No it's not that slow, but slower-still takes a few seconds to load everything before being '100% Up and running', while Flux seems relatively instant.

KDE is more userfriendly to the newly converted, but once I learn the Flux config options I'm sure I'll use it much more.
