Inspired by GUIdebook and the toastytech GUI gallery I've decided to start a small collection of screenshots of older desktop environments and applications that I find interesting in some way. In particular, I'm a big fan of the look of early Linux desktop environments and window managers as well as late-'90s desktop GUIs in general.

So far I've played around with the following versions of Slackware Linux in VirtualBox:

• Slackware 7.1
  • KDE 1.1.2
  • GNOME 1.2
• Slackware 8.0
  • KDE 2.1.2
  • GNOME 1.4
• Slackware 8.1
  • KDE 3.0.1
  • GNOME 1.4
  • XFCE 3.8
• Slackware 9.1
  • KDE 3.1
  • GNOME 2.4
  • XFCE 3.99.4

GUI elements:

• Buttons
• Classic CSS stylesheets
