Ye older rices. Nostalgia thread
Looks better than a lot of modern desktops

Early 2000s aesthetics were kino
KDE2/3 is still the closest the Linux desktop ever got to excellence.
Mogs the entire desktop thread
Themes were a mistake
Themes can be fine, and I think we owe it to people to allow them as not everyone prefers the same aesthetics, or could have some accessibility reason to need something different. But the problem these days is that it's so damn hard to get everything consistent because GTK and Qt have diverged so far in their overall design goals. Off the top of my head the only one that seems to match across both toolkits is the KDE Breeze theme, which is just a bit too flatshit for me.
All themes nowadays, gtk and at are mostly flat. Its so frustrating because a of of the time sites dont archive the old themes and instead point to the devs website which can be and usually is long gone, so its hard to get good gtk3 themes that aren't flat
