That music player skin... Anyone remember Sonique? (that was Windows only though)

Oh man! Sonique was my player of choice! Those free form skins were so fun

Much better than modern minimalist look.
Currently I sport Oxygen theme with GNOME icons which is good enough, but it's not quite there.

Only modern Ui trend I've enjoyed is dark mode, I remember using WindowBlinds back on Win7 to make my own dark mode but it still keeping the Aero look.

KDE with Volatile + Avalon icons have been the closest I've gotten to the look I really want on modern systems.

That post made me go full nostalgia - I started on Linux with KDE 3.5, and Trinity preserves its "feel" rather well.

MATE has the same effect on me.

It probably would for me too, if it didn't become my default DE.

...it's weird to think about it. When that trainwreck of the initial KDE 4 release kicked off, I switched to GNOME 2, so I didn't give Trinity a chance; but when the trainwreck of GNOME 3.0 kicked off, I simply couldn't be arsed - instead I kept using it as MATE.
