Windows 95/98 theme for 11, safe?

[Edward78]

I found https://www.reddit.com/r/Windows11/comments/zvg37h/i_now_have_the_ultimate_win9598_theme_for_windows I would love it, but is it safe you think? MS has made some dumb decisions uv guw to change the fonts & theme settings. I posted a link in the thread I had on changing fonts, you pick the font, write the name & go to reg to change. What idiot came up with that plan???

Not sure why you would want to
Just personal preference on my part though
All the programs listed to do it
Seem fine
Though I would go to the actual softwares home page
Rather than links from someone else

Could try it in a VM first
Though not everything always works right in VM

Sickening behaviour

The app to do it is $30, just to do that, nope.

There's probably some way to do it
That doesn't involve buying windowblinds from stardock
Been ages since I messed around with that sort of stuff
And video wallpapers etc
But everything I tried was free
I just never tried making it look like that
I remember the originals lol
Doesn't look visually appealing to me

I would recommend getting your nostalgia fix from a real retro PC rather than changing system files in a modern Windows OS.

If you want a modern OS with outdated UI concepts, there are plenty of Linux desktop distros for you. For clarity, I like Linux but it's true.

You should be able to get that retro feel by installing Win95/98 into a VM...

I would not trust that reddit theme personally.
