The best parts of CDE were Motif and ToolTalk. This ... thing omits both.
This is a CDE skin for FVWM.
Nothing important from CDE is included. None of the technology ideas. Just a cute window manager.
- pjmlp 7y agoAlthough Motif was only bearable with help of Roguewave's Motif++.
- russfink 7y agoOne thing CDE did well was remind you of your multiple desktops. Gnome tends to hide this fact. The downside of CDE was that the dock took up real estate. I was a CDE user for several years, and an Xt/Motif programmer in various jobs.

When I used it, the most important thing about CDE was that it was a consistent unified desktop environment with very clear and consistent human interface guidelines and extremely good built-in help. Under the hood things that you refer to may well have been great in their own ways, but from the user's perspective they're just implementation details. NsCDE uses different technology but successfully implements the same design principles.
