Most beautiful GUI (OS 4, Windows 8, ...)?

[ciVic]

I find it hard to believe that really everyone wants this flat colorful GUI of modern OS, so I would like to ask everybody: What is your favorite GUI design?

I'm sorry that iOS, Android, MorphOS, etc is not listed but only 10 options are possible. So "Others" especially includes mobile OS.

My vote is on Mac OS Classic, more specifically System 7. The simplicity and elegance of the GUI elements, along with the great bitmap fonts and icons made by Susan Kare are just perfect together. OS X is ugly by comparison.

Among Amiga systems my vote is on AmigaOS 3.x with MagicWB and MUI.

From Amiga flavours I find MorphOS beautiful if you consider out of the box look. AmigaOS or AROS not so much but Birdie themed AmigaOS is very beautiful.

From other platforms OS X is cute. Windows 95 theme is functional but dated.

That background image doesnt fit with with MacOS Classic theme.

Oh yes, 8 colour MagicWB/MUI is beautiful. But only in 8 colours. Add more colours and it does not work anymore.

Have you tried fullpalette? mine works just fine.

I prefer the look of OS3.9 over Windows 8, can't comment on OS X as I haven't used a Mac since 7.5

Ambient should have been offered as a choice as, in my opinion, its the best looking Amiga GUI.

I've never been a fan of the MacOS Classic look, it's just too stripey. Having said that, I don't like the look of the old blue/orange Amiga Workbench either. AmigaOS4 or MorphOS on the other hand I like very much and our classic Amiga Workbench with a few tweaks (MUI, Budgie etc.) is customisable enough to get pretty much anyone something they can be happy with.... and I just love glow icons.

I have three:
Windows 95
OS 3.1
LXDE

btw you could group win7, vista and windows xp together they are quite similar.

Bleh. Too many options for Windows.

I would have voted for OS4 but that's mainly because the default theme is so close to 3.9 but with gradients on and prettier icons. All of which can be achieved in 3 with a bit of effort. So I voted for 3.x.

Would do that to be able to add Ambient since it seems more popular as I expected but editing is not possible.

IRIX Magic Desktop for configurability and graphic effects.

What I mean is MagicWB is optimized for 8 colours. Add more colours, like 24-bit background image or toolbar icons, and it does not look right anymore.
