In a recent update, the collection of ports OpenBSD added the classic desktop environment cde (Common Desktop Environment), which was originally developed in the early nineties by a collaboration of companies including Sun Microsystems, HP, IBM, Dec, SCO, Fujitsu, and Hitachi. It was the standard graphic environment for operating systems such as Solaris, HP-UX, IBM AIX, Digital Unix, and Unixware. The CDE 2.1 code was released in 2012 by The Open Group consortium under the LGPL license.
The CDE includes various components such as an XDMCP-compatible entrance manager, user sessions manager, window manager, CDE Frontpanel panel, working table manager, tire for inter-processing interaction, tools for working tables, Shell and C application development tools, and components for integrating third-party applications. The interface is formed using the library motif.
