Win XP with classic look was pretty decent and useable. There was an option in system settings to disable all theming, 3D stuff, animations etc. just the basic look of that time and a lot more snappy UX.
- trealira 3y agoDo you have a picture of what that looked like? I'm curious. When I search for it, I can only find pictures of normal Windows XP and older versions of Windows. I can only imagine it looking like Windows 95 again.
- xcv123 3y agoIt looked like Windows 2000. https://guidebookgallery.org/screenshots/win2000pro https://guidebookgallery.org/screenshots/win2000pro

- trealira 3y agoThanks, that's exactly what I wanted. It did look slightly nicer than the Windows 95 pictures here.

- trealira 3y agoThanks for letting me know. I looked into it, and apparently it's still even possible to activate on later versions of Windows with registry edits and helper software: https://github.com/valinet/ExplorerPatcher/discussions/167 https://github.com/valinet/ExplorerPatcher/discussions/167
