I just discovered Window Maker. Installed it on my SGI Indigo2 Maximum
IMPACT. Oh my god. It's like a dream. Running IRIX with the interface
of NeXTstep. I love it. Time to install it on all my headed
workstations.
Peace... Sridhar

If you look you should also be able to find icons that match the NeXTstep
icons rather than what ships with WindowMaker. Also, I'm not sure how
well it'll work with Irix, but you might want to have a look at GNUstep
(I've never actually played with it, just looked at the web site).

You need to learn more about the user interface on the NeXT. (;
Window Maker only LOOKS like the NeXT UI. It misses out on, for example,
the whole concept of Services (which unfortunately so did Apple for MacOS
X).
There's a whole heck of a lot more to a user interface than what it looks
like.
Did I sound bitter at all, just then? I'm sorry. I'm not, I promise. (:

As a Mac User, and I'm bitter! I like the NeXT interface, and I love the
Mac interface, what the (*&^ were they thinking/smoking when they came up
with the Aqua interface?!?!?!
