By "not as nice", do you mean (a) graphics are not as nice, they are dithered when Win95 was pure colors, or (b) the interface is not as nice; it looks weird. If (a), the place to start with is probably your XF86 config; try to get an accelerated server and a greater # of bits per pixel. If (b), you may have to download the source and start hacking. Meanwhile, console yourself by clicking with the middle mouse button on links (the #1 advantage of the Unix versions of NS).
