There’s some great Winamp skins, but for me the peak of expressive, creative UI were OS X themes, XP-era msstyle themes, and Vista/7 msstyle themes tied for first place with classic Mac OS Kaleidoscope schemes closely following.
Some of those OS X/XP/7 themes were gorgeous but also very practically usable. Many still hold up well today, and I’d use them over the majority of themes available for Linux desktops if given the option.
- bsimpson 1y agoI remember being so excited when Apple teased themeable System 8. I think I even found leaked betas of the themes and installed them on my dad's Mac. http://old.reddit.com/r/90sdesign/comments/1bzb2yp/the_gizmo_theme_from_apples_illfated_mac_os/ http://old.reddit.com/r/90sdesign/comments/1bzb2yp/the_gizmo...
- cosmic_cheese 1y agoSome of those Appearance Manager themes were great too, even if they weren’t as numerous as Kaleidoscope schemes were. I downloaded plenty from ResExcellence back in the day!
