• already on the list, moved it to the windows 10 part though
• added

• already on the list
• adding wallpapers feels silly, if you want a specific wallpaper you can just look it up instead of scrolling through a whole list. not adding
• same as above
• added
• it seems like LuneOS is just an OS that has been around for a long time, it's cool but i dont plan on adding anything that's just been around for a long time without having any visual updates
  
• added
• this project is read only, it says it's been taken over by their friend but the page it links to is pretty empty and seemingly unrelated
  
• added
• added
• cool! but complicated and not something that can be installed, it's like how you can activate balloon notifications on Windows 10 (and earlier versions of Windows 11), i cant add this

https://winclassic.net/thread/2291/stay-away-any-content-alcatel

removed those links, including the windows 7 theme, i dont know who made it but im going to take your word. also fixed the extended kernal link. thank you for letting me know!

The links for Borealis and Aerofox8 are broken, the Vista Extended kernel moved to https://win32subsystem.live/extended-kernel/ and https://bestwindowsthemes.com/ is run by a transphobe, racist and possible doxxer

NicheCoal25 you need to modify your Firefox layout by right clicking the titlebar and clicking "Customize Toolbar"

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

I have made the RinFox test and this was the result. How do i fix this?

Rinfox is designed for Firefox 115 ESR so it will work

Question: Is "rinFox (IE 7 and 8 theme for firefox)" compatible with Firefox 115 ESR? (Asking this to test it on Win7 through VirtualBox)

added! would be nice if it had some screenshots. thank you for sending!

Reloaded7 or Team's 10to7 mod

thank you for sending, added! the thing with updates is confusing, im pretty sure it's not being developed anymore though

https://archive.org/details/vista-r-2-22-h-2-version-7

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.)

added, thank you for sending!

Suggestion: Windows Media Player 11-inspired skin for VLC

Another WMP11 skin for VLC

silverfox is built for firefox 115 actually! if you're having any issues please look at the instructions. thank you for asking!

is rinfox compatible with Firefox 115 ESR? i try to use it in there and the layout refuses to adjust correctly

added! thank you for sending!

human theme (old Ubuntu Human theme for GTK)

replaced the MJD videos with this guide, thank you for sending!

thank you for sending! i've been meaning to add this to the list but i keep forgetting. added

IE 9 - IE 11 theme for Firefox 115 ESR: https://github.com/angelbruni/BeautyFox

this is basically just a list of emulators, it's cool but it's not really what this list is about. thank you for sending anyways!

Check out https://emulation.gametechwiki.com/ 

i didn't know there was a different, thank you for letting me know! added

hey that link to Vista/7Paint only includes Windows 7 paint not Vista one here is link Vista MS paint to vista paint

added a link to eXperience but not Aero 11 since there's already a windowblinds aero glass theme on the list and it's basically the same. thank you for sending!

eXperience11 for windowblinds 

aero11 for windowblinds 

i was pretty sure i updated the link before, definitely did it now! thank you for letting me know!
