Hi,

These are the things I like in Plan 9 user interface:

- When the OS starts, it gives me a really clean screen. No menu bar, no
icons, nothing. Just a clean slate. I liked it so much, I manually remove=
d
most of the icons in my Windows machine just to get closer to Plan 9 styl=
e.
May be I should also set my Wallpaper to a plain gray image. :-) I also
like the windows with just the borders.

- I like Acme a lot. It is simple and powerful. In particular, I like the=
 3-
button mouse usage and the Euro font (default font). One problem, though,
is I like the font so much, I find it difficult to use Plan 9 with a
resolution less than 1280x1024. And I miss Cut-and-Paste (with mouse)
feature of Plan 9 UI in every other OSes. Cant they atleast add it as a
configurable feature?

Regards
