Indeed.. i remember when i was so proud to have a nice looking desktop manager with really old hardware running, it was awesome.

Nowadays i am not sure.. i will try E17 again and see how it compares today :)

(p.s.: i even did a screencast of my "wunderful" E17 Desktop 5 years ago and it still has effects and a look and feel that is ahead of gnome/unity/xfce with a laptop that was over 5 years old back then.

Oh my, I'd almost forgotten about all the gold. Lot's of excessive shimmering too.

It's clearly a technically very impressive desktop environment, but I always thought they needed better design for the actual themes.

That's why i used the black alternative scheme, that was muuuuch better. :)
