      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.

        I actually went back to a light gray theme for my new Linux machine after I’ve been stuck with Windows’s options of “flat pure black with hairlines” and “flat bright white with hairlines” for too long.

        I don’t actually need dark mode that much (except for coding) if a bright mode theme is easy enough on the eyes. Windows 10 is just so ugly that only the dark mode is halfway palatable.

        If only the old themexp.dll hacks still worked I could have a decent looking desktop on all of my machines…

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

        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.
