My Desktop Setup Over the Years

ive always had a thing for customizing my computers look to resemble an older OS. in 2023 when i first got my pc one of the first things i did was to change the look to windows 95 using windowblinds and retrobar

7/6/23

this is how my desktop looked for the most of 2023 but it was really ugly, the only thing themed was the desktop itself, windowblinds wasnt great, and everything was just inaccurate, i used windowblinds because it was safe and easy, if i ever wanted to remove the theme, i could do so with a press of a button

during november i planned on switching to a green christmas theme for the holidays, i made a whole custom windowblinds theme for it, but when i put it on for the first time, i thought it looked really ugly

after seeing other peoples setup that looked better and more accurate than mines, i eventually made the switch off of windowblinds to classic theme(a built in style of windows that has the old ui from 95-2000)when i made this switch  i also configured so my of my pc to fit this classic aesthetic, including my file explorer, web browser, downloading old software, and other stuff

after christmas was over, i switched back to the old gray colorscheme

2/18/24i got bored of the 95 theme and switched to a windows 98 style(barely different)

8/25/24the icons were messed up for a minute
