i don't recommend using pale moon!! it just isn't a good browser and it's not very secure either since it's just a fork of a pretty old version of firefox

vista r2
(he took it down because currently he wanted to remake it on 21H2 IoT LTSC instead of regular 10 Pro.)
but also on the archive page he said (Vista R2 stopped development February 12, 2024. After this date, no new versions will be made.)

The design before was very nice, I like the windows 95/98 one more than anything, that's why my profile picture, in fact, I realized that my profile picture, the windows 98 folder, is called directory_open_cool-0

in order, from top to bottom:
- im not adding windowblinds themes if their too old since theyre usually
made for an outdated and unsupported OS anyways, if you wanted to use an
unsupported OS you would just use the thing it's recreating - added
- added
- what even is rocketdock? it's from 2010, not adding
- same reason as above
- added
- added
- added
- added

- added
- added
- added
- i dont like to add direct older versions of non-system applications, still cool though
- same as the last one
- this is an android emulator on windows right? it's like that windows XP theme for android, it's cool but it doesnt really fit the list
- i dont add console emulators for the same reason. you could technically hook up your computer to a TV and get the same effect, but even then video game emulators are pretty easy to find
- same thing as above
- im not adding old windowblinds themes
- same as above
- same as above
- same as above
- same as above

- not really sure what this is, but sure. added
- added
- added
- what is this? it seems like stuff from the OS put into a browser, i dont add those.
- emulator thing, not adding
- this is less of a gamecube theme for your wii and more of turning your wii into a gamecube, at that point just buy a gamecube. not adding
- added
- added

Note the front row thing only works for Mac OS lion and mountain lion
Add that WebADB bypasses the old apps restriction for android 13 tiramisu and above, but may not work with Pixel 7 or S24 series or higher due to the aforementioned cpu architecture issues.
ViFind is a menubar not a dock
The wine theme should be added with the wayback link, the discord link is broken due to discord cracking down on bandwidth of their CDN
