The default window manager is twm, which is very spartan in look. You may want to try out fvwm from the ports collection. For specific applications, you may have better results by building them from the ports against Xaw3d (the 3D Athena widgets). Some applications come statically built and will thus have 3D appearance if that's how they were built (Netscape is one). Other than that, you can get Motif from http://www.xig.com, but it is a commercial products. Hope this helps, Nadav
