I wasn't going to engage in this conversation, but you seem to have badly
misunderstood what this point is supposed to mean.
"Form" here means retaining the trappings of the desktop as we've known
it for the past twenty years (menu, system tray, etc.) rather than trying
an experimental paradigm like Gnome 3 or Windows 8. This is something
Trinity shares (so far, anyway) with a lot of the lightweight desktops.
It's about the elements, not the details of their appearance. I read, that this project is about
"stasis" and "nostalgia" (well, that
is benevolent rephrasing) in a lot of places, but so far not on the
project's own Web-site. Maybe I missed something.
First mission statement - first statement - on the website:

The Trinity Desktop Environment (TDE) project is a computer desktop
environment for Unix-like operating systems with a primary goal of
**retaining** the **function** and **form** of traditional desktop
computers. </quote>
My stars.
