Only one of many personalities ( UI ) of dsl4.0
Depends on boot options chosen (fluxbox, swm, noicons, lowmem, etc)
Current default is actually closer to OS/2.

Am getting used to dfm now.
Knowing the shortcuts really helps.
I think the help section on 'Icons and File Management' should be bumped up a section in the help file. And there are other useful shortcuts
(e.g ctrl-d, ctrl-n, ctrl-s, ctrl-i, shift-double-click). This would help the newbie a great deal before giving up.

Where's the theme changer in jwm ? fluxbox menus seem to to better here.

The help file also says "When using fluxbox.. right click on the
bottom edge of the screen.." - but this doesn't seem to do anything except bring up the right-click menu, (which it does anywhere). (?)

yeh, the dfm site does mention it being based on OS2. the new icons and fluxbox does help get rid of some of that taste though.
:D

(Oh I do miss those app icons. i think i'll go search for a png converter..)

By default, anywhere else will bring up the dfm context menu -- except the bottom edge (which is somewhat configurable)
