It's pretty unique among these. It's definately not as garish as Motif, but not as plain as NeXT. I haven't seen SGI or the Following frames. It basically just looks like a plump version of the old window frame, except the white has been replaced by a subdued blue/gray, with a very faint (user-selectable) colored hilite. The thumbs in scroll bars have a little friction mark in the middle sort of like real sliders on electronic equipment. All in all, I think they've done a nice job of making it nicer to look at without having it get in your way.
