Window Maker still exists. There's an ongoing Wayland port / reimagining: https://github.com/phkaeser/wlmaker https://github.com/phkaeser/wlmaker.

  That's actually amazing. Can't wait for dockable apps support. That could be a killer app for operators - half desktop, half monitoring dashboard, haha :) I can already see those dockable tiles with Prometheus metrics.

  The thing I liked most in the NeXT was the sparing use of color. It was part necessity, but also usability. What does the color of the window bar being blue communicate? I am an enthusiast for Gnome’s less is more approach.

    Original NeXT was monochrome, so of course it used no significant colors in the UI.

      The original NeXTcube was 4-bit grayscale, but there was a graphics card available which supported 24-bit colour. The later NeXTstations supported 12-bit colours without any additional hardware.

        > was 4-bit grayscale Small nitpick: it was 2-bit and could do two greys in addition to black and white.

          Thank you. I actually knew that; I was thinking “4 shades”, and then wrote “4-bit” by mistake.
