OS X is responsible for pretty much every cancer addling modern UI design today.
>>51568449
OS X is not responsible for hamburger menus or gigantic window borders.
>>51568449
I don't see what that has to do with Mac OS X 10.3 being a great looking OS
>>51568449
But flat designs were microsoft's "innovation"
OP learned about this OS by watching Lain.

>>51567981

>>51568535
Anybody know how I can get the vista taskbar on Windows 7? I remember on XP I used the BricoPack installer and it installed the Vista taskbar + VistaOrb to get the actual 3D orb. But I'm worried about malware from that stuff now, I was stupid back when I did it on XP.
>>51569030
search Vista VS for Windows 7 and how to enable quick launch bar
>>51569955
I actually just did that but it also changes the style of Explorer which I don't want. I just want the taskbar itself. I'm not sure how to accomplish this, as I've never edited an msstyle.

>>51570360
I don't use GNUstep because I'm not a kek.
I suppose young anons aren't old enough to remember NeXTSTEP
>>51570268
TenFourFox is too slow in my experience (possibly because I haven't got a system with full Core Image support), Camino works fine for 4chan, TenFourKit/Safari for some other sites, TenFourFox for compatibility.
>>51570431
I haven't used Camino in quite a while but I generally browsed with SeaMonkey, using TenFourFox when I needed to use sites with a lot of JavaScript, and TenFourFox is considerably faster on my PowerBook G4, eMac, and PowerMac G5
>>51568550
What is with the platinum meme worship on /g/? It's okay, but honestly Mac OS died with System 7.5, and most of my OS 8/9 boxes are riced with Kaleidoscope.

>>51570568
didn't mean it literally fäm, but OS/2 2.x has a very austere, professional, powerful look to it as a result of exhaustive testing to make it literally the most inoffensive UI possible. late '80s-early '90s IBM aesthetics were god-tier.
>>51570625
alright
lets appriciate oldschool GUI while listening to this

Windows 7 is okay, but Windows 2k, XP, and 8 look better. I used to like it more than Vista but Vista's grown on me too.
Alright amateurs you can all pack up and go home now.

Now I'm sad, just tried booting my Graphite G4, get absolutely nothing. Tried replacing the PSU, nada, clean the CPU contacts, nope. Logic board's probably fucked.
>>51571649
Did you reset the PRAM and NVRAM, reseating the RAM and HDD, etc? You may just need a new PRAM battery, they're only a few dollars so it's worth a shot
>>51570669
>tcsh
You had to ruin a great OpenBSD desktop didn't you.
>>51570561
Hell yeah motherfucker. Ultra 10? Blade 150? You should also give OpenBSD a shot on that hardware. Their sparc64 port is top tier.
>>51571685
PRAM battery tests fine, 3.67V, tried doing a SMC reset by hitting the button next to the battery, is there anything more to reset?
Won't even spin fans, it just sits there. Tested PSU voltages, all seem okay.
>>51571701
A lot of people are saying not to use tcsh, but I've never had an issue with it. Why am I supposed to switch again?
>>51570561
actually, it's running pretty damn nicely on a pentium 4. why would i even think of making a P4 a hackintosh???

>OS X is responsible for pretty much every cancer addling modern UI design today.
I think you meant ios
>>51570208
most icons and menus are on the left, so your mouse cursor is more likely to be on that side of the screen.
Windows did it on the right only to be different and then everyone grew accustomed to it
>>51568535
liked the interface.
didnt like the resource hog.
went back to win xp.
then jumped to 7 given it felt kinda okay.

The Windows 9x aesthetic will always be comfy as fuck.
>>51574465
Now that I've been on Yosemite+ for a while, I can't understand how I ever thought those glossy faux-glass buttons looked good.
>>51574572
because steve jobs told you they looked good
>>51574465
I never understood the appeal of fucking gradients like that

>>51570561
I really fucking wish they would fix CDE up and make it into an actual DE/WM.
It never compiles right on any of my machines.
>>51574606
I'd rather a fresh codebase with a CDE-alike interface, written for Wayland. WDE maybe.
>>51574618
There was something like that until CDE went open source.
There was even a debian based distro built around that CDE clone.
Oh well. At least the source is available.
Find me in the club, bottle full of bub

Yeah it was called Xfce up through 3.x. Then Xfeces decided to be a GNOME clone.

Bingo. I just replaced it with a maxed out Fire V100 since I don't need graphics, the screenshot is from a Solaris 10 VM I run on my Windows workstation to interact with it.
I'm also fixing up a loaded SS2, but I'm not sure what I want to do with it yet.
>>51572188
I'm just talking about the aesthetic, it's maybe a little nicer than most wms but it's still kind of lame, especially with the bipolarisms of the windows and that general cheap gradient washed look that tries to copy OS X but comes up short. Wouldn't really put it on the level of Windows 2000, CDE or BeOS.
>>51574606
same, I think I'm a little overly optimistic but I would really be interested in seeing "modern" usability features added to it like easier customization/theming. I think I learned a decent bit fucking around with its many poorly documented configuration files but it would be damn nice to see more support for front panel configuration and PNG wallpapers/icons among other things, as well as third-party widget support and shit like window snapping (trying to configure my windows where they don't trigger autism by overlapping the front panel is a bitch)

maybe modern ones are too over engineered and styled or something

>>51568382
memory 256MB
>>51578930
And? The OS was released in 2003 running on a computer that at the latest came out in 1999, 256MB RAM is a perfectly decent amount.
>>51574563
love it
>>51579023
I was thinking it is awesome that you can get that in 256mb of ram with room to spare for applications. I meant it in a good way :-)
>>51578402

Behold the best looking OS. Keeps consistency and performance all the time, there's no way one could hate El Capitan (tm)
>>51579638
10.4 was the best OS X, if only because it was themable. Apple decided to fuck with the api so theming apps no longer worked in 10.5 and later.
>>51579736
> Themeable
you mean riceable right? but why would you want to rice OS X? If you want to play autism just install any linux distro in a vm and enjoy. You shouldn't rice your main/work OS.
>>51579638
El Crap is terrible though, probably the worst OS X ever made stability wise besides OS X 10.0. I have never seen an OS, including Windows and Linux, with more bugs, specially graphical glitches. No day passes without some built-in app crashing or failing, including Safari, Finder, or even the fucking Dock.
I truly pity the people that consider this shit the best OS X. I guess most of them didn't have a Mac back in the glorious 10.4 - 10.6 days.
>>51579784
This thread is specifically about looks, though. A good themeing engine counts for a fair bit.
>>51579784
>You shouldn't rice your main/work OS.
Some people have a separate home computer. This is heavily overlooked by people who think running random shit on a leisure PC is <favorite word for shit i don't like>.
>>51576514
I'm not the same person. That game isn't even any fun, it just feels like when I opened a picture in TextEdit one time.
>>51579806
I have a 2013 MBA, 10.11's not terrible, but of all the things I am, a liar isn't one of them. Should I have a partition for Mavericks?
>>51570552
windows 2000 was the last one that looked good by default, but at least you can make XP look pretty much the same
in windows 7 its just ruined with the ugly interfaces and icons
>>51579806
Just werks for me, fixed all the bugs I had with yosemite, no new bugs at all.
>>51568535
Fucking great UI, shit OS.
>>51574606
it works perfectly on my laptop with debian 8.2
could probably work on my desktop with the same OS, just havent compiled it here
>>51574379
It looks good, but muh botnet.
>>51574379
I agree. Windows 10 is very attractive.
I'm really not sure whether I'm going to upgrade or not.
Stock XP was kinda ugly, but there was always something kinda cozy about it if you ask me.
>>51577044
I miss Amiga
>>51579993
Don't do it until probably spring or mid summer 2016. There's still some problems that need to get worked out before it's stable enough for daily use, but hopefully that'll all be fixed by then.
>>51578249
pretty much, and most of it is too silly looking to be taken seriously like an old CDE, OS/2, BeOS, Windows <2k, whatever interface

I have to agree, W10 is visually polished, more than it deserves to be.
it really looks consistent after the last update.
>>51583265
Some of them were part of all-white flat design icon pack I googled but for the most part I made them myself because things like Revit, ArchiCAD or StarCraft 2 were either easier to photoshop than to look up or just not available online at all
