oky2000 Posted January 7, 2012 Share Posted January 7, 2012 Someone produced a fabby Workbench/Kickstart 2.0 and 1.3 window manager for Linux but Googling I find nothing for anything either Atari ST specific or even PC GEM style. In fact I can't even find a skin for a monochrome classic Macintosh 128k style. Is there really nothing to make using a PC less alien and more like a machine I have fond memories for??? Found an interesting single theme on Deviant Art but it's not really identical at all to GEM. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
almightytodd Posted January 7, 2012 Share Posted January 7, 2012 (edited) I'm glad I'm not the only one who has been thinking about this. I've even considered purchasing Stardock WindowBlinds® and making my own, because their dev-kit appears to be easier to work with than Linux GTK. I think it's interesting to note that the GEM color mode scales really well to the desktop resolutions found on modern monitors.

I remember this application back in the days when everyone wanted XP to look like Vista (and who can blame them, the Vista GUI is one of the only improvements over XP). I eventually found a regular theme that used only free tools like UXtheme patcher etc. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
almightytodd Posted February 18, 2012 Share Posted February 18, 2012 Here's a YouTube video showing that it has been done for Windows XP, but no indication of how it was done or info about where to get it for your own desktop... http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=DwaRSB19TSc Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
