There are now a couple of screen shots at the above link under the section
"What Does It Look Like?".

The screen shots demonstrate the usage of the OroborOSX window manager,
which imparts an Aqua look and feel to the window borders. I think that
this window manager is a good choice because it looks pretty nice and is
more consistent with the other windows on your desktop.

You also could use the Motif window manager (mwm) which would make your (X)
window borders be more consistent with the widgets used within the
application, at the obvious expense of being different from the rest of the
desktop. XDarwin uses twm by default and that is what you would get if you
don't install and use mwm or OroborOSX. The good news here is that you get
to choose.
