This skin is really rad. If you could make a Windows 2000 looking version however, I would honestly cry with joy.   2000 is very close to Windows 98. Basically, if the skins were recolored:  Active Title Bar colors:  R:10, G:36, B:106      Gradient: R:, 166, G: 202, B:240 Default Background Blue: R:58, G:110, B:165 The rest of the Windows color (The overall gray color for taskbar, Windows, borders...etc...) R:212, G:208, :200 That would basically be it for 2000.

I tried to apply the changes to the "Windows 9x Recolourable (WIP)" substyle to get the Windows 2000 look but I don't succeed and don't know which settings to change.

Could somebody tell what I need to change or is there any applyable substyle to download or can it be included in a update to pick as substyle? That would be awesome!

The recolor option changes the color to multiple aspects of the skin so making it look 2k-ish just doesn't seem possible. I was working on a personal use substyle with the 2k colors but I never got around to finishing it, if I do & can get permission to release it I will.

Hey! So, I used to use this skin, and I absolutely loved it! However, I'm now encountering an issue where the Start Menu textures aren't loading correctly, and I've got some odd win-7 looking start menu. Will you be able to fix this sometime soon, or recommend a fix for it? It would be greatly appreciated. Thanks!

Hi both, thanks for using the skin! I am expecting to have some extra free time over the next couple of weeks and given how this skin has exploded in popularity I am going to look into both of your requests.

I will create a Windows 2000SemoB specific substyle (and if I have more time will look into fully customisable recolours but no promises on that front) and I will also upload a fixed version of the Start10 start menu which will look something like this.

Please watch this space.

How cool is this? Congrats on your first WB! Only thing I would suggest is that you actually add a startmenu. Then link to the software to make it more faithful (like classic shell). Giving folks an option. Something like this? Click for image Oh that's a lovely design. I'll definitely include your suggestion in my to-do list. Thanks!

SemoB Can you send me a tutorial how to make windowblinds theme

Any chance of updating this for Windows 11 / WB11? I really miss that theme.

Nice retro job, I'ma freak for square corners. I made my own skin because the few square cornered skins are far and few between, I'll probably use mine until I'm to old to type. Again nice work

Would like to see a start menu at some point, this is the most accurate take on 95, it's just missing that start menu to make it complete. Either way, good luck with this!
