In fact, both GNOME and KDE in their out of the box

set up a more familiar looking default (maybe to avoid legal

Both have a context menu on the top left and minimize, maximize,
close on the right, for example, and the widgets tend to be a
lot more "metal with highlight and shadow" than either OS9 or
OSX. Again, that sort of thing can be tweaked with themes but
last I knew, Mac users don't get into themes quite as much as
Linux or Windows users.

desktop gui
environments were coming from PC backgrounds! almost all
remind me of
How you missed gnome, kde, etc is beyond me.
