I personally think motif/lesstif is way sexier than most of the default GTK themes.

Reminds me that i should really sit down and bang out a FVWM config i can be comfortable with.

YES! I've been running FVWM since I was a kid! I want to switch to vtwm though because it cross compiles more nicely.

I actually liked OpenLook/XView best, apart from that weird scrollbar.

Looked up XView, and the example on Wikipedia reminds me a whole lot of the current flat/paper thing going on with Mobile UIs.

That's not from the 80's but the 90's.

Motif is from 1989.

utilitarian, also has the dynamic widgets just as inbox and calendar icon.

Retro cool is always sexy.
