- int_19h 5y agoYour widgets look like they have a 1px 3D border? The Motif that I remember was much bulkier, e.g. https://i.imgur.com/aebBFsx.jpg https://i.imgur.com/aebBFsx.jpg
- sedatk 5y agoProbably. I couldn’t afford long draw times (it ran on 386SX-25Mhz), so I usually opted for 1px for everything. The resolution was lower too (640x480) leaving less space for for decoration.
- mkl 5y agoThey both look very close in terms of pixel widths, though the Motif screenshot is much higher resolution so there they actually look thinner to me. The window borders are 5px, vs. Motif's 6px (in your screenshot). The Motif button borders are actually thinner (2px vs. 3px). The Motif frames around lists are thicker (2px vs. 1px).
