Hi,

I'm new to this forum and I just wanted to thank you for your work on this "IRIX-like desktop for Linux/BSD." I really am enjoying the old-school, 90s vibes of emwm, the "Toolbox," etc., and using and tweaking these themes and configurations. Perhaps I'll post a screenshot later.

My only experience with SGI and Irix was in the Fall of 2003 when I had a once-a-week internship (which was part of an "honors" project) with the weatherman at an NPR/PBS station run by my university. I remember watching him get the animated graphics ready for the TV weather forecast on some kind of SGI machine. I remember thinking it all looked pretty cool if maybe a little stodgy or "antiquated".

I've been using some form of Linux as my main computing platform since 1998 or so (I'm currently running Devuan Chimaera 4.0) and have also dabbled in running *BSD and other OSes such as Haiku. I've also played with with MaXX Interactive Desktop recently, but greatly appreciate the fully Free/Open Source nature of your project here.

I found this forum through Raion's Reddit posts, I believe.

In any event, Merry belated Christmas and thank you again for your work on this!
