IRIX-like desktop for Linux/BSD

RE: IRIX-like desktop for Linux/BSD
Even prettier now, with SGI-style cursor, more apps, and a better toolchest layout.

I also shared this and the prior image to /r/unixporn. I bet people are gonna start looking at you Shrek!

If you want non-bitmap fonts for more applications you can compile NEdit Classic and Xosview2. NEdit Classic should be a drop in replacement but Xosview2 will need some tinkering with the X resources.

NEdit isn't really updated anymore so I'll probably include the version with modern font support in upcoming binary distributions.

By the way did you make the window borders darker? I'm curious if that's your customization or if things are working differently on FreeBSD

I now have desktop sounds mostly working for raising/lowering volume, opening/closing windows, taking screenshots and a few other things. Might set a login sound too.

I've got it running on mine, not this but the newer toolchest that Raion and I have been diddling around with.

One step closer to understanding the shadow layout on windows. I'll do more experiments with pixmaps tonight to see if I can get IRIX-style dithering on the window decorations.

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.
