Screenshots from OPENSTEP 4.2.
Desktop

The desktop is in 1024×768, because even if it can be run at 640×480, OPENSTEP was clearly designed to run on high resolutions (the original NeXTCUBE’s native screen was 1120x832).



Empty desktop

Clockwise in all the corners we have: menu for currently active application (in this case workspace itself), the Dock, Recycler and icon for the only active application (File Manager, which cannot be closed). Please note that in OPENSTEP you can’t place documents or application on the desktop itself (at least without the use of third-party applications).
