Do any of you still use them? I do.

Simple + Redmond ftw.

No compositing. Reduced Resources.

I really really want a theme that makes my desktop look like an Ncurses-based display; you know with the red, blue and yellow windows; with the square drop-shadows, with the [] for checkboxes and the () for radio buttons.

That would be truly awesome, and a perfect match for the ASCIIquarium KDE screensaver.

I know people harp on about preserving resource, but preserving them for what? The whole point of having uber RAM or a dual core is to use it!

I have 4GB RAM and only around 600mb's is used despite the fact i run compiz, themes, docky, chrome, xmind, and, hell, even RAM sucker Banshee! And it never goes over 1gb despite having all of these running at the same time! So...

Because you can. Awesome wm and uzbl on an intel C2D E6700 with 8GB of ram, hell yeah!
