ZevenOS did a remarkably good job of this: http://www.zevenos.com/

Their screenshot gallery gave an idea: http://www.zevenos.com/screenshots/screenshots-zevenos

A mini-review from back then: http://www.h-online.com/open/news/item/ZevenOS-5-0-delivers-...

I know, old -- but there are some comments in Haiku groups in various places that they are planning a relaunch.

It was a good-looking distro. I ran it for a while, and while it was basically Xubuntu but themed, it was very _nicely_ themed. Looked good, felt good, worked well. If you liked BeOS, which I did, a lot.

Is there any connection to Zeta?

As in yellowTab Zeta, the OS? No. That was a (possibly unauthorised) version of what would have been the next version of BeOS, a beta codenamed "Dano". https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/BeOS_R5.1d0
