OroborOSX: XDarwin Aqua-Like Window Manager

It's truly a wm worthy of standing side-by-side with Aqua in rootless mode. Here are some screenshots from Jonathan Tyzack (I'm too lazy to create my own, but my experience is the same). Using MacGimp under OroborOSX is awesome ..." The original Oroborus looks interesting as well; the original author has discontinued work on Oroborus, but it looks like the code has found a nice new application.

    Well, Apple didn't exactly innovate either. A lot of OSX is BSD-software that Apple has taken closed source. And there are few new ideas in the OSX GUIs (and the ones that are new are arguably not even good). But OSX does have a nice graphic design.
