  I'm more a Gnome person myself but there is this[1] if you use KDE. 1: https://store.kde.org/p/1018166/ https://store.kde.org/p/1018166/

  ZevenOS did a remarkably good job of this: http://www.zevenos.com/ http://www.zevenos.com/ Their screenshot gallery gave an idea: http://www.zevenos.com/screenshots/screenshots-zevenos http://www.zevenos.com/screenshots/screenshots-zevenos A mini-review from back then: http://www.h-online.com/open/news/item/ZevenOS-5-0-delivers-an-early-Christmas-present-1763844.html http://www.h-online.com/open/news/item/ZevenOS-5-0-delivers-... I know, old -- but there are some comments in Haiku groups in various places that they are planning a relaunch. It was a good-looking distro. I ran it for a while, and while it was basically Xubuntu but themed, it was very _nicely_ themed. Looked good, felt good, worked well. If you liked BeOS, which I did, a lot.

    Is there any connection to Zeta?

      As in yellowTab Zeta, the OS? No. That was a (possibly unauthorised) version of what would have been the next version of BeOS, a beta codenamed "Dano". https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/BeOS_R5.1d0 https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/BeOS_R5.1d0 There's a copy on the Internet Archive: https://archive.org/details/archiveorg_malenki_Zeta https://archive.org/details/archiveorg_malenki_Zeta
