Are there any communities focused on custom themes for various operating systems?
I'd like to theme an old Windows XP or 2003 system to resemble a more modern Macintosh system. I already have a base theme for WindowBlinds, but would like to try finding additional resources such as icons, sound effects, etc..
And apparently thememypc dot net keeps throwing up janky suspicious advertising rather than allow downloads anymore ☹️
Agreed. But this isn't altogether about just themeing an old OS, I want the shit to work too. And I'm not a noob, I've salvaged entire games from NTFS volumes from within custom Windows 3.11 environment with DOS drivers..
WinOSX used to be a thing, back in the day, but no idea if still works or if the downloads are now riddled with malware. But worth looking into.
But seriously, what’s got you looking to do this? I’d totally get reskinning XP a couple of decades ago but now, especially given how many security vulnerabilities riddle XP, I’d only use that thing entirely offline.
Hey, there’s absolutely nothing wrong with having fun however you find it. I’m just really intrigued what you’ve got in store for a Windows XP box that looks like OS X. As in, once you’ve got it skinned/themed, then what happens?
I think a majority of the time they are just posted to UnixPorn anyways. If it's an older version of Windows you could try some retro computing communities.
I think there's a few subreddits like /r/rainmeter or /r/windowsporn but I don't know if something similar exists on Lemmy yet.
