Which Linux desktop theme can be more perfect and nostalgic than Windows 95? Only Steam 2003! Nothing new, kinda trend on Reddit. But when I switch from work theme to my "home" theme, it makes me feel peaceful and earthy every time I look at my desktop :).

If we dig a little deeper, before Steam, there was the Microsoft Plus! 95 theme with similar calm colors. That's one I remember vividly:

Getting back to my modern Linux setup:

• GTK/XFCE theme Nashville96-Steam
• QT compatibility: qt5ct with Windows style and steam2003.conf Color Scheme
• QMMP theme Winamp Fallout - Pip Boy 2000
• Font tahoma.ttf/Share Tech Mono
• Wallpaper #2A3730/The Next Day
  • Know nothing 'bout the game, love wallpaper
  • 
• Vivaldi theme
• IceWM HDPI theme
  • Hey, anybody also using IceWM?
• Icon theme, can't decide between:
  • Chicago95 for authentic feel
  • Faenza, which is now retro itself (contrasts nicely on neutral Steam colors)
• Fastmail/Telegram/any-app-that-supports-custom-colors:
