>I was tempted to dismiss it.... Goes on to completely dismiss it. This is an amazing project and much more than a theme/skin, and obviously a labor of love. Glad to see it on HN getting some well-earned kudos.

>>I was tempted to dismiss it.... >Goes on to completely dismiss it. Then I failed to properly express myself, and I apologize. Having watched the YouTube playlist, NsCDE is indeed an extremely thorough clone that mostly matches the original and in many places exceeds it. In particular, it does appear to have globally-available help, which lacks the "click anything and get a description" mode but otherwise is a match for the original. They've even somewhat addressed a problem with running the original in 2020 by making it support even non-native applications (through QT+GTK theme support). So yes, this is very impressive, and not at all the shallow skin that I initially expected.
