There were lots of copycat themes for Linux window managers and toolkits around then which looked much worse than this attempt.

I really miss the windows XP theme. It was super clean and consistent compared to the shit show we have now.

Back then people called it Fisher Price.

Probably my fav was during the betas before they added the intense blue/green "Luna" theme.

I loved the XP theme! It was undoubtedly very polarizing though, even to this day people argue over whether it was a beautiful step forward (as I believe) or a horrible Fischer-Price kids UI.
