No. It is not a matter of taste. You are confusing X11 with the default window manager, TWM(?). I doubt that anyone thinks that the default window manager installed with X Window on OSX is anything but ugly. It provides bare bones functionality as a starting point to allow you to occasionally run X applications. X has no "look". X can look like anything displayable on a computer screen. As mentioned in previous posts X is just a graphics display server. This link to the Fink project gives a quick overview of the relevant concepts and distinctions specifically relevant to X on OS/X. http://fink.sourceforge.net/doc/x11/intro.php?phpLang=en --------------------------------------- Jim Self Systems Architect, Lead Developer VMTH Computer Services, UC Davis (http://www.vmth.ucdavis.edu/us/jaself) ------------------------------------------------------- This SF.Net email is sponsored by xPML, a groundbreaking scripting language that extends applications into web and mobile media.
