At the moment I am using Ubuntu hardy on my desktop. I am going to be adding other Linux's and maybe FreeBSD. I use gnome for special effects, eye candy, and plain old show off stuff. But I want to have a simple DE in my computer installed. I like the way CDE looks and the reviews about its light weight and differences from other DE's. I know that xfce 1-3 was created as a CDE clone. But the problem is that only xfce4 is available at the moment and it takes on its own look. My question is can I mod xfce4 to look and feel like CDE or the original xfce style. If so, how and do you know of any online tutorials/howto's on the subject. I googled it but I guess I just didn't use the right searches.
