While watching reruns of 48hours, the beginning of one episode caught my Linux eye.  It appeared to me like I was looking at someones fluxbox desktop.

Do you see in my image, 'Producer-editor' white fonts on black background?  Below it, 'mead stone' black font on white background?  I'm not suggesting it's Fluxbox being used on the show '48 hours'.....  I'm saying the graphix they used reminds me of a Fluxbox desktop.

Agreed...Fluxbox, OpenBox.  But also PekWM, FVWM(?), JWM(?), Enlightenment, or even (whispers)...Window Maker.  Or even any distro with jgmenu!  All similar in style!  Good eye Wa4chq!

Thanks HJ.....I used Fluxbox for a few years back in my early Linux daze....so it kinda caught my eye when I saw that episode of 48 hours.
