I've used Memphis98 (similar to Chicago95) since it came out. Although just as a GTK-theme, not the entire desktop. Window manager is FVWM and taskbar/panel/session-manager is LXQt, so it's a bit of a Franken-desktop :)

For Qt-apps I use the "Windows" style so they fit together nicely.

Comparing Memphis and Chicago, there are some layout-bugs in Memphis, but I feel like it's overall a bit better balanced than Chicago.

I think all new themes are too bright and flat, Windows 9X was perfect (at least in that regard).

For a FVWM/Motif based theme, you may like the OL/Motif themes from B00merang.

The Solaris 9 theme works great with FVWM.
