I remember installing a Windows XP LCARS theme, back when I was watching Star Trek every day as soon as I got back from college – and I remember strongly regretting the decision immediately.

Needless to say, it looked kinda cool, but not quite right for obvious reasons, and the actual experience of using it was... not great.

To borrow an expression from House MD, it wasn't a unicorn, it was a donkey with a plunger taped to its forehead.

I settled on making myself an LCARS new tab web page instead. That was pretty cool, I've often given thought to remaking it... but I'd probably get sidetracked too heavily from my actual work and end up an insomniac with an LCARS Linux distro and a very full inbox.

Aside: I really miss the Windows Classic look. I know you can sort of get it back in Windows 10 but I'm not on Windows these days, I just miss how Windows 98/2000/XP looked and behaved... well, maybe behaved is a bad word.

Aside 2: It appears the author of this simulation has made a few of these LCARS simulations https://www.mewho.com/
