1996 - Neil Banfield was working on windows blinds whilst on the same set of courses at the university we both went to. Sold to stardock soon after. Just looked it up and things are still going strong!
A lot to be said for the OG windows hook APIs and whatever modern magic they are grabbing into these days.

I loved those themes so much. What a fun way to kill time as a teenager.
