Hey you, let's have a thread where we rate each others desktops. I'm attempted to give Windows 7 a retro aesthetic by combining options for best performance with the default Windows 95 background. How does it look?

I just need to get a 4:3 monitor and the conversion will be complete.

At least download Classic Shell and use a Win95 start button.
>>
>>38515677
No, you need to change a lot of icons and shell elements and edit a lot of DLLs

Low res looks perfect. I will combine this with the classic shell and have all the aesthetic benefits of early internet use, without the horrible speed.

The classic theme looks awful on anything past Windows XP. It's really out of place on 7.

How do I switch to the Win95 start button once I've downloaded classic shell?

Open "Classic Start Menu Settings" make sure you're on the "Start Menu Style" tab, check the "Replace Start button" box, check the "Custom" button, click "Pick image," then select the PNG file.

Low resolution with classic shell is perfect, I'm a kid again. No intention of playing games on this PC with nearly 90's tier specs anyway, so I'll just enjoy the looks.

or just swap the icons

>>38516037
Didn't think of that. If I run into problems, I can at least make the desktop icon for Chrome the old IE icon.
>>
>>38516037
The rest of the taskbar is a slightly lighter shade of gray than the start button. It probably doesn't bother you but I would change it to make the transformation complete. I would also set the taskbar buttons to "never combine."

I'm assuming that's really Windows XP? Looks comfy.

>>38516388
I guess if the only program you use is an internet browser, you don't really need any desktop icons.

Is it feasible to run real Windows 95 in 2017? Let's assume you at least have modern hardware and stay on extremely vanilla, malware free sites.

If you have good antivirus software, there's literally no reason not to use Windows XP in 2017.

>but muh games

Almost all games pre-2011 supported Windows XP, and anything being released today isn't worth your time.

Is that Windows 10? Ghey.
>>
>>38516703
I was cucked into it from the "free upgrade", it did it on it's own, I came to my PC after going outside for a bit, and it was in the middle of updating; I don't mind WIN10, I actually kinda like it

I think WIN7 had bad problems on my PC, because after WIN10 my PC was super fucking fast, and would never get hot

I was waiting for it to do it on it's own, it was gonna happen either way, why postpone the inevitable? I don't feel like buying windows 10 3+ years later, so meh

Dubs checked. If you're going for a late nineties aesthetic, browse with the Futaba theme.

Nope, don't do anything illegal, and don't give a single fuck about what the govt. watches me fap to, I just assume they ignore me, I'm a bretty boring person; and I'm patriotic, so thats nice

Novel idea. I will find a way to run Doom 2 without Steam, since that doesn't fit the look at all. The newest I'd go is probably flight simulator 2000
