Hi I'm looking for a retro style desktop environment (or maybe just some skin or something) for my Debian workstation. Preferably something that looks like Mac OS 9.

      Ooh, I wonder how the menu bar works across apps since most are designed to have menus in-window. I remember older versions of KDE used a global menu bar and there were some hacks to move some GTK apps' menus into there as well, but it wasn't totally consistent.

      Might have to give this a try.

        BTW modern KDE still has this as a module and it works pretty well with both Qt and GTK programs (though with GTK it sometimes shows it in both locations).
