Motif and GTK are being compared, because they're both written in C, and both are under LGPL2.1+. GTK also has a history of its project spawning off of use of Motif.
History of Motif
Motif started off proprietary in 1988 by Open Software Foundation. This foundation was created by...
I like the view of Motif - style of window frames, buttons, etc. But it seems it is obsolete for most users. Can it be used now and in future without compromises like "latest browser cannot work" or "it is incompatible with Gtk/Qt/other-important-library"?
Hello,
I have been using this window manager for the last few months and I think it's great!

The author also wrote motif-based file manager called Xfile and an image viewer called Ximaging.

Hi,
I'm curious of any methods to get older applications based on Athena (Xaw) and Motif to match your current GTK or Qt theme. If I recall correctly, the MATE desktop environment does this out of the box (I think back to opening an Xaw application like xfontsel and it being dark to match my...
I am not familiar with X11 in depth. I have used mainly Gnome on Linux. I like the view of Motif - shape of windows, maximize buttons, etc. I am not sure is it possible to install and use in the same time Motif and Gnome UI? Motif as base GUI and run programs developed for Gnome (or KDE)? Or...

I have recently started using CDE and I am loving the look and feel of this desktop. Of course I would now like to see what applications are available that I can run that share this look, to make the desktop look as cohesive as possible.
The problem when looking at lists of Motif software...
I've just installed FreeBSD in VirtualBox on Windows, using the VM image on this website. I am familiar with the command line operation of UNIX systems but I would like to try a visual windowing approach, specifically Motif style.
I have never done this before and I would ask

Hello,
Would you eventually know a good small Motif, GTK,... Alsa Volume Mixer ?
Ideally it has limited dependencies.
Thank you for your help and infos.
x11-toolkits/open-motif uses base gcc instead of the one from ports like most ports do.
Adding the required flags to ENV before compiling works, but it would be better if the port was to follow the rules set in make.conf.
