Obviously we can change the look. But isn't it absolutely amazing that this style and font and so on ever looked modern and attractive? Look at that and you will say, give me Fluxbox any day!

Well, there's no accounting for taste. I don't like Fluxbox and I will never say to give me Fluxbox. I do prefer AfterStep. The font is a matter of choice and the style is a matter of taste, meaning I'd change the font but the style with the dock on the right looks fine to me.
