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 ☹️
The answer is most likely Linux.
But why, though?
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.
Why? Cuz why not? I still do occasional tweaks to MicroXP/Micro2003…
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?
It’s a really intriguing project!
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.
The real question is, what exactly are you doing using an outdated OS in 2023? Hopefully you’re just playing around with it offline?
