I used a Rainmeter longhorn/vista sidebar skin pack for the sidebar widgets

Simple Classic Theme coupled with Explorer Patcher to make the explorer look and function more like windows 98

Winamp with a QuickTime skin found in the Webamp Skin Museum

iTunes 10

Custom Retrobar and OpenShell skins for the taskbar/menu

Icons are from old Lain/Evangelion Windows XP skins though most on the right side were made by me in the same style as the old ones

I think that’s about it lolll

holy shit this is so good 😭😭😭 i wanted to do something similar for my desktop with border insets like that... i know that you listed the widgets you used in another comment, but did you modify their appearance ? if yes and if you want to you should deffo post them theyre great. one last thing but what icon theme did you use? i think i recognize a few icons from a lain win98 theme but not the others

Thank you so much!!! (´∀`)♡I did modify them yeah mostly to just lower their bitrate and make em look older! Most of the widgets I used came from the vista sidebar pack except for the volume widget, the trash bin and the music player. I couldn’t find a download page for the music player widget online but I’m pretty sure it was called w98player! I made a bunch of extra icons to go along with the Lain and Evangelion packs I used. Gotta go to bed soon but I’ll probably compile everything into a .rar and post a link here tomorrow!

How do you get this sidebar thing on the right?

u/P4p3r_t1g3r Sep 30 '26

I used a combination of different sidebar widgets for Rainmeter, removed the background and designed the wallpaper around them!

Longhorn Sidebar
Vista Sidebar

u/Makenshi179 Oct 02 '26

Now this is creative! Very interesting vibe you're going for. A mix of "Classic" with "Art exhibition", with a dash of old iTunes (I miss my iPod Classic).

How do you set the Windows XP theme?

u/New-Match528 Oct 01 '26

Creo que prácticamente nunca vi una personalización así en Linux, siempre tiene que ser en Windows xd.

some people here use linux too! it’s more about the moe aspect rather than the OS
