Enlightenment E16, circa 2000, with the Bluesteel theme

Damn this brings back some good memories. Except I was a fluxbox guy on my Slackware install...back when you had to compile damn near everything from scratch.

Good times...good times...

Fluxbox on gentoo myself, but otherwise, yeah.

Honestly, seeing a screenshot of Enlightenment back in 1998 was what made me try Linux.

Beautiful. Symmetrical. 90° angles. Every window has a strict purpose. No fancy animations. No popups. No bullshit.

I love how every terminal window has a different background image set ;)

Indeed. I prefer light blue on black, though. Actually, I designed my whole system with that in mind.

I'm a minimalist guy liking minimalist things. But everything has to be equal and symmetrical.
