I unironically used this theme when I was a kid!

what kind of themes did you use to customize your operating systems or software?

Did you keep the standard themes or did you spend hours customizing the look and feel?

    absolutely loathed the hotdog color scheme, and my sister knew it, she’d always change it back to that scheme.

    I prefer muted dark colors, easier on my eyes. back in win3.1 I mostly used dos5

      ha!

      yeah I can see how the theme might be overwhelming, I am partially colorblind thought so maybe that is the reason I found it so appealing

    Ah yes! Not so much themes, but I got a demo copy of a Windows 3.1 shell called Wayfarer from a magazine cover disk, and spent many happy hours setting that up. Also creating mashups of the standard wallpapers in Paintbrush, and fiddling with ChromaZone.

    Ah yes, Windows 3.1 Hot Dog Stand: great color scheme or greatest color scheme?

    I also really loved making custom wallpapers with custom pixel patterns. What a throwback

    I used to spend more time on such things, even to the point of replacing Windows Explorer with Blackbox at least once. Nowadays I just scrounge some wallpapers off the web and put them on rotate.
