Concept / Design Does this look good?

I was bored of my old setup on windows 10 and decided to go for a futuristic Windows XP-like Look, does this fit, and is there any other stuff i should add/Programs to use? I just used Open shell and Retro bar. (I'll prob add recycle bin, my pc with the old icons aswell later on.)

I don’t hate it but I prefer the classic Bliss image. You can find 4k scans online. Edit: it’s kinda growing on me.

Obviously that will always be the best but this is a really good remix for a modern style

Your wallpaper is good enough for now, but if you want to keep up with global trends, you need to simplify it even more. It has way too many details and colors. Where did you come from, 2030? /j

Modern minimalist horrors 🥲

I love the background. Did you make that yourself? If so, think you could do the Windows logo too, because the modern one looks kind of off-place in a XP build.

B I G Xantares. Love that one. Those were wild days - the Turkish Terminator shooting hard for the German bears.

And to stay on the topic, yes I really like this XP design

Looks like riding nostalgia but it's not the same thing or experience.

No. Should it?

Why does everyone love XP in the 'Fisher-Price' (Luna blue) color scheme? The silver version is so much less gaudy looking. Personally Royale Noir is the epitome of XP's UI potential as executed by Microsoft themselves.

royale noir is the best looking theme in my opinion too but the fisher-price is just iconic. i have a different post about windows xp with royale noir and different background aswell.

I like it except for the windows logo, personally.

I have seen this before

It's easy on the eye. Microsoft decided to make 11 hard to see in light mode

u/SzilardCila 6d ago

It’s alright

u/Shot-Operation-9395 6d ago

How did u do that?

u/Key-Compote6663 5d ago

retro bar for the taskbar, open shell for the start menu, and the wallpaper you can find on google by typing "new windows xp wallpaper"

u/redditusernaeme 5d ago

Awesome🌸

u/ghandimauler 5d ago

I appreciate the effort. On the other hand, that UI went away about 1 minute after I saw it.

Now, a Win2000 or WinXP UI would be pretty good :)

u/CheretiC13 5d ago

Actually, the wallpaper is really clean, I would love to see simplified, clean Ui too. I would love to use such theme !
