Motif just came out with a new version
Check out www.motifzone.org

Also, Motif is opening up, but there is the free LessTif, too.

The reason big companies are moving away from it are not technical, it is bandwagonial.

Sun made a very bad desktop made on Motif, the current CDE, and it is so bad that they thought it easier to adopt GNOME instead of clenaing it up or reimplementing it on the new (THEMEABLE!!) Motif.

However, if your processor is a slow 1Ghz or even a darns slow 750MHz Athlon, don't expect any of the desktop bloats to impress you.
My fastest x86 processor is a 500MHz Celeron, so anything but Motif is out of the question for me.

There is also Athena.

Why does Motif not die? It is required for Posix compliance, it is built the 'Unix' way - Gtk and Qt are both Windows-centered, Qt maybe more than Gtk.

There is also xforms, with fdesign, that one is as easy to use a BorlandC for WhineDoze.

Personally, I will not use a toolkit that does not have Unix style resource files.

But, I guess you d00ds start to know me by now Smilie

NAME
QMotifWidget - The QWidget API for Xt/Motif widgets SYNOPSIS
This class is part of the Qt Motif Extension. #include <qmotifwidget.h> Inherits QWidget. Public Members QMotifWidget ( QWidget * parent, WidgetClass widgetclass, ArgList args = NULL, Cardinal argcount = 0, const char * name = 0, WFlags flags = 0 ) virtual ~QMotifWidget () Widget motifWidget () const DESCRIPTION
This class is defined in the Qt Motif Extension, which can be found in the qt/extensions directory. It is not included in the main Qt API. The QMotifWidget class provides the QWidget API for Xt/Motif widgets. QMotifWidget exists to provide a QWidget that can act as a parent for any Xt/Motif widget. Since the QMotifWidget is a proper QWidget, it an be used as a top-level widget (e.g. 0 parent) or as a child of any other QWidget. An Xt/Motif widget with a top-level QMotifWidget parent can begin using the standard Qt dialogs and custom QDialogs while keeping the main Xt/Motif interface of the application. Using a QMotifWidget as the parent for the various QDialogs will ensure that modality and stacking works properly throughout the entire application. Applications moving to Qt may have custom Xt/Motif widgets that will take time to rewrite with Qt. Such applications can use these custom widgets as QMotifWidget with QWidget parents. This allows the application's interface to be replaced gradually. MEMBER FUNCTION DOCUMENTATION
QMotifWidget::QMotifWidget ( QWidget * parent, WidgetClass widgetclass, ArgList args = NULL, Cardinal argcount = 0, const char * name = 0, WFlags flags = 0 ) Creates a QMotifWidget of the given widgetclass as a child of parent, with the name name and widget flags flags. The args and argcount arguments are passed on to XtCreateWidget. The motifWidget() function returns the resulting Xt/Motif widget. This widget can be used as a parent for any other Xt/Motif widget. If parent is a QMotifWidget, the Xt/Motif widget is created as a child of the parent's motifWidget(). If &#92; parent is 0 or a normal QWidget, the Xt/Motif widget is created as a child of a special ApplicationShell widget. Xt/Motif widgets can use this special ApplicationShell parent as the parent for existing Xt/Motif dialogs or QMotifDialogs. QMotifWidget::~QMotifWidget () [virtual] Destroys the QMotifWidget. The special ApplicationShell is also destroyed, if it was created during construction. Widget QMotifWidget::motifWidget () const Returns the embedded Xt/Motif widget. If a Shell widget was created by the constructor, you can access it with XtParent(). SEE ALSO
