It is Motif with a few colors.  Antialiased fonts and UTF-8.  But
"roundedness" can not be added to OpenMotif.  It is kind of square.

I think if a rounded design is desired, OpenMotif is just not the right
toolkit at the moment.

I like the squareness.  It does not spoil to many pixels, as pixels are
the target area for the fingers of the persons operating our systems.
The more pixels are sensitive to touch events, the more likely they hit
it... ;)
