But I think they ended this deal at some point

I actually thought Microsoft excuses handhelds from Windows licensing fees? Or discounts them?

I tweaked it slightly, I think the titlebars are pretty accurate now, at least proportionally

Windows 98:

my theme v0.9:

Thanks! Yeah I mean worst case scenario, technically someone could program a replacement widget, but it’d have to be someone else, cause I think that’s more work than I want to put into this lol

I’m also uploading v0.8 with darker borders too, unfortunately that’s a separate package from the colorscheme, it’s built into the svg file in Window Decorations

thanks for the feedback, I made a bunch of improvements for v0.7

thanks for the feedback, I made a bunch of improvements for v0.7

thanks, I actually did manage to improve the taskbar a lot for v0.7

How’s this? added in v0.7

I did fix the gray (was a pain for the window decorations since those colors are embedded in the svg) and yea it’s more authentic, not entirely sure if I like it more or less

I’ll include both options and probably default to the more authentic theme

I’d spend some time in Gimp to make a custom start icon with the text on it

Yea you can’t add text to that button (EDIT: I was wrong, doing this for v0.8), but embedding the text into the icon image is a good idea, maybe I’ll do that today (if it can handle non-square images)

and I gotta figure out a proper size for the taskbar, just need to compare the padding size relative to the text size

I’d add a line of shading around the top and side of the taskbar and the buttons, and figure out how to retheme the notification panel to be the same shaded color so it appears depressed into the bar.

idk if this is possible from a theme

I was contemplating how to make a dark version of this lol

Makes sense, I didn’t make the color scheme, it’s one of the linked dependencies. I like it.

IDK how to change the taskbar like that. But I am accepting pull requests if you have improvements. Maybe I’ll mess with it more tomorrow but I kinda like this. I autohide my taskbar anyways so I don’t really look at it.

What red color are you referring to?

Lol I think it’s the best looking Windows

Yeah I don’t think Nautilus has those

which features of Dolphin do you like? I haven’t tried anything too crazy with either one

interesting, what’s different?

Just to clarify, are you using the Ubuntu Gnome desktop or the normal, vanilla Gnome?

Ubuntu’s default

I don’t like how KDE (by default) has a permanent bottom bar twice as tall 😅

I changed it immediately lol

Gnomes search includes emojis, so just hit super and type ‘cat’ then it’s there in the search results 🐈

Ok yea this is good

I haven’t looked into GNOME extensions yet

Thanks for the suggestions, I’ll check these out! The terminal I’ve used most is PuTTY by far lol, so I haven’t figured out a favorite yet
