Historical screenshots

ohnonot · 2015-10-29 08:15:40

I'm reviving this thread from crunchbang forums.
Today I found this which I find pretty awesome.

So, post your screenshots if they are from before 2010!
or others' screenshots if they are at least 10 years old!

Slackware & CDE not exactly 10 years old but hey it's pretty dang old anyways.

^ I love the way they managed to simulate 3D buttons with single-bit-depth images/effects.

Yeah right! they had to be a little on the large side for the effect. You can tell a lot of thought and time was put into it.
CDE is some fun nostalgia, I believe it took my machine many hours to build the sucker on slack.

Loved Afterstep, Nextstep, OS2 Warp, etc. Link
I always wanted the most height on the screen, more so with todays wider/shorter monitors.

@twoion: thanks for the link. absolutely amazing.

@gako: absolutely amazing, too! the resolution suggests you installed it on more recent hardware?

Yeah, good eye. It was on an thinkpad x120e.
On a side note don't ever own one of those, the damn thing literally shot sparks
out of it by the time I was done with it.

Can't get much better than that, unless it's Ubuntu Slayer Edition.
