Is this specifically aimed at debian development for the foreseeable future or will it be relatively distro independent with the correct dependencies? I ran debian with mate (what I'm used to) on my PBP for a few months after I got it but it crashed and I just switched back to the more supported Manjaro.There's nothing Debian specific except for the script to install dependencies. If you can find the package names for Manjaro and install them the rest should build fine. If standard Motif 2.3.8 isn't available you can build and install that separately: https://sourceforge.net/projects/motif/files/

I found up to date Lua bindings for Motif. Easy GUI prototyping with native widgets is really nice.

I thought I'd post a screenshot of my DeskView setup. I like using it when I need a calm and focused environment to focus on one thing at a time. Thank you again for putting this together, shrek.
When I am frantically trying to do 12 things at once (most of the time), I can be found using MATE.
A blessed Easter to everyone.

This awesome! Good luck, I think what SGI did, they did internally with their own Motif version. I hope I'm wrong.
I actually did work on MaXX project for a while a few years ago, I wrote a lot of the initial documentation but I left because it would be OMGLOTSTODO then silence for months from the project leader.
I have dithering working for the outer border at least.
HEY RAION I HAVE DITHERING
How did you get the dithering?

Sorry for the bump, but, unfortunately, the download link is removed, and I so much would like to take look at the configuration files...
Anyone still got them by any chance?

I'm just using the same window manager I've been using since, gosh, 1989? The Motif window manager, with the iconbox activated.
