CDE flashback!
Seriously, this reminds me of the worst of CDE and Motif, all not-quite-finished looking.
I ran a NextStep machine for a while (lipo is the best command name ever, IM(NS)HO) and loved it, and it looked nothing like this weird semi flat pseudo X11 ugliness.
(Only reason I switched away was that the rest of my co was Windows and loved themselves their Office docs and there was no equivalent for OpenStep.)
