…But honestly, I’m not really sure how close I got to the actual Gnome 2 look. I dig it tho.

OS: EndeavourOS

Theme: Orchis (Red)

Icons: Reversal (Red)

Terminal: XFCE Terminal

Window Manager: Xfwm4

Shell: ZSH

Wallpaper: Not really sure, I’ve had it for a while. Artist is LAM tho

    didn’t gnome 2 get forked into Mate?

    Yup. I use it. It has a few rough corners (e.g. the weather panel suddenly stopped working), but it works fairly well.

    I feel like eventually it should be merged into Xfce. But that’s harder than it looks like.

        Because at the end of the day it means “hey, developers working on foo, ditch it and move to bar, then try to convince bar devs to allow you to make it more foo-like”. And that’s for two whole DEs, not just one or two applications.
