> I added an anime character desktop background, as was required at the time

i always thought that "stone hand on desert island" was the #1 requirement for Linux desktop backgrounds of the time? ofc i can't find a pic of it now

Ohh, I've never seen that wallpaper before... Looks so year 2000-ish... :)

And then you start some actual (non-E) applications...

Which look completely different (i.e. not like something that MS Frontpage has desperately assembled out of Java Applets and weird color choices)...

And then, even if you liked the original look, you'll not be satisfied at all anymore, will you?

Yeah, okay, on the other hand, you could probably find Qt and GTK themes that somehow looked similar enough...
