I'm very confused by this... It says Windows 3.1 but the Recycle Bin and screenshot clearly show Windows 9x. The Minesweeper screenshot is definitely from Windo

I'm very confused by this... It says Windows 3.1 but the Recycle Bin and screenshot clearly show Windows 9x. The Minesweeper screenshot is definitely from Windows 3.x, though. What sort of wizardry is this?

Calmira! It’s a third party shell replacement for Program Manager that provides a Win9x “feel”. http://www.calmira.de/ http://www.calmira.de/

  I much prefer WPS4WIN which implements OS/2's WorkPlace Shell on Windows 3.x. Here are some screenshots: http://toastytech.com/guis/wps.html http://toastytech.com/guis/wps.html I combine this with a Windows 3.x tool called MAKEOVER which lets you edit the window buttons in your video driver. This lets me make the window buttons in the Windows apps look like OS/2 buttons.

  Reminds me of the shell replacement Microsoft released to provide a Win95-style UI in Windows NT 3.51[1]. I ran it for a while in 95/96. Somewhere in my closet I still have the CD-ROM pack with the OS and the addon... [1]: https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Windows_NT_3.51#NewShell https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Windows_NT_3.51#NewShell
