The problem is, you don't know you miss it till you see that it's there 
and you could have had it. I'll give XFCE a try, that is one I haven't 
done yet.

I'm good enough to have tinkered with my own icon, desktop and borders 
themes and modified others that were close to get them closer to what I 
want.   Remove transparency, change color, customize icons, things like 
that.  So the look is good, the feel is good.

Since so many people use mint in Distrowatch.com I guess maybe I'm at 
the top of the hill already.   There isn't much I can get to work well 
except the typical things people complain about like wine is such an 
outdated version of windows, that type of thing, but I won't get that 
fixed in my lifetime.

Thanks.
