I wish there were real high-quality Linux and Windows themes imitating Windows 3.x, 98 and XP (and some other old OSes perhaps) realistically, not just "kind of like that". I would even pay money for such if I were satisfied.

Ideally, they should also be easy to combine in different ways. E.g. I want Win3.11 pixel art icons, Win98 window&panel styles and WinXP non-antialiased fonts - these 3 things make me feel orgasmic.



Have you tried Chicago 95?

No, I haven't! Thank you very much! I have brought this subject up many many times and nobody could suggest anything which would be really close to any version of Windows (I don't insist really this old, interested in a good WinXP clone as well). This one seems by far the best. The screenshot makes me drool :-)


That’s dope AF, thanks



Funny and sad: every single theme I checked says "KDE - No" (or just says it requires Gnome).


Mate and XFCE are enough.
