Patrick Posted September 17, 2008 Anyone know where I can get a desktop theme that makes windows xp look like windows 98? I don't mean just setting it in "classic" mode, but also changing the icons, screensavers and such... 0 Share this post Link to post
leileilol Posted September 17, 2008 For icons and sounds, get Windows 98 installed into some folder. Windows XP has a 98 color scheme if you look hard enough 0 Share this post Link to post
TomoAlien Posted September 18, 2008 Windows 98 got some awesome screensavers, but Microsoft didn't include them with windows XP . 0 Share this post Link to post

Mindless Rambler Posted September 18, 2008 3D Maze was awesome, especially since you could choose your textures. 0 Share this post Link to post
Inferno Posted September 19, 2008 3-d maze was soooo trippy. But awesome nonetheless. I would of said starfield but XP kept that one. Was the aquarium part of the Win 98 screensavers? I got XP and I don't see it in my selection. 0 Share this post Link to post
leileilol Posted September 19, 2008 Aquarium theme (which includes screensaver) was inherited from the old Microsoft Plus! for Kids Trial version, as with the rest of Microsoft Plus! plus a couple of new ones like Baseball. 0 Share this post Link to post
printz Posted September 19, 2008 Planky said:How could you not like 3D Maze Ooookey, but for the Win95 system I had once, it was rather eating memory, especially in high-res. And it was only one. The rest were texturable flying entities I don't really cry for. In fact I personally don't really care for screensavers; I don't know what I'm doing in this thread... 0 Share this post Link to post
Kirby Posted September 19, 2008 Ahhh, 3D maze. Nothing lik changing all the textures to the carpet and trying to find out where you're going :P 0 Share this post Link to post
printz Posted September 19, 2008 I instead put three popular Doom 1 textures: stone brick for walls, hexagon steel plates for floor and brick-like plating for ceiling. Now it looks just like a really poor 1994 fullbright maze wad. :) 0 Share this post Link to post
