Extreme Coder is still hard at work putting together a version of Mandriva for older machines. He enlisted the help of Albi to create an IceWM theme that mimicks the default Mandriva setup, and the results are fabulous.

By comparison, if you (like me) don’t recognize a default Mandriva desktop …

Albi certainly does beautiful work. The final product should be amazing; if you want to follow its progress, keep an eye on this thread on the Mandriva forums.

P.S.: Albi has a few of his IceWM themes on box-look.org, but I think he posts most of his work in the Art and Design subforum.
