REGARDING OG STEAM ---------------------------------------------- With the June 14, 2023 Steam Client update, they have rewritten the entire function of the UI and therefore old themes no longer work. OG-Steam no longer will function and you should disregard that portion of the video. Instead, look into using Millenium! It can be found at steambrew.app/ and has a theme called "OldSteam" that looks similar (enough) to the Olive Green version of Steam. I personally am using "Classic Steam Library" which looks almost exactly like the 2013 version of steam, which is what I grew up with.
for anyone having issues with the taskbar being too big, go to settings, search taskbar settings and click on taskbar settings then choose small icons. hope this helps
I know this is one whole year ago, but how can I make my windows file explorer and title bars look like Windows XP's without buying and breaking my taskbar?
k so a few issues i saw that i fixed. 1. RetroBar for the taskbar 2. Use Millennium for the steam skin, since it has both the 2003 and 2013 skins with FUNCTIONING library skins. 3. Continuation to 2 but if you use the 2003 skin on Millennium them DO NOT USE SMALL MODE! If you use small mode, then the whole program will look weird upon changing back to large mode. If I missed anything, let me know! (I use the same programs you do but I have modified it to look my style.) - outrr
you know what I wanted to ask you. when you lower or raise the volume it should generally make a sound effect, for me it doesn't do anything. how can I set the ding of windows xp?? Thank you
When i applied the theme my whole svreen just went black and i cant use my pc at all, tried rebooting and the issue persists, sometimes a welcome screen appears and them it just goes straight to black screen again
lifetime, i still have my license from when i bought it back when this vid was made. though TBH it's too expensive now. I recommend looking for "alternatives" ;)
oh SHOOT youre absolutely right! A while ago I changed every description and completely looked over the fact that i shouldnt change this one, I've fixed it now, thank you so much for telling me!
Windowblinds is 45$ CAD. This is half a tank of gas, 2 good meals at a restaurant or a point an shoot camera. Absolutely ridiculous. I wouldnt pay more than 10$ for something like this.
theres this cheap program thats 99 cents on the microsoft store called xp explorer and its a 1 to 1 recreation of the original xp explorer it even bas the luna title bar
I'm not gonna lie, I just read this comment at a diner and instantly went to check Windowblinds. HELL NAH don't spend that, price is up to $30 now and I can say that is NOT worth the price. I don't plan on following up this video. But you can find posts on reddit about other ways to get the look. Thanks for telling me about that, do not buy WindowBlinds. At the cost I paid it was worth it, but I can't advocate for a 300% increase for the same thing.
This is not a good theme and heres why 1. Big taskbar icons 2. No taskbar icon labels 3. Volume icon in the taskbar is from windows 10 4. That clock looks weird 5. The Start menu has no name on it 6. The power off buttons on the start menus are off, the log off button doesnt exist and the shut down icon is on the light blue column 7. Desktop icon shadows

thank you very much
just finished up with all of the setup and it looks great, thanks!
love that classic steam skin, nostalgic
This is probably the most helpful tutorial in the entire planet
- Some extra clarity on T-Clock installation would be appreciated.
Thank you incredibly so much for your guide and clear explanations - this has made me and many others extremely happy, thank you!
you can use retrobar instead of classic shell :)
however for the start menu you will need classic shell
I searched it and it said “Unsecured website”.
@@miniposeidonits just a false positive, i use it for my taskbar and its actually really cool

Nice now i can be like yahiamice

open shell is the new classic sheel that is still supported
thank you so much for this video ❤
really want to do this but WHY is window blinds 20$ now :/
who said you cant download it for free?
@@medio_231 ended up paying for it lol
you know what I wanted to ask you. when you lower or raise the volume it should generally make a sound effect, for me it doesn't do anything. how can I set the ding of windows xp?? Thank you
Thanks A lot, this was very helpful.
it WILL NOT show up in the area where you actually select the skin. it only ever allows you to use the default skin
You have to change it to classic with two columns in start menu style first
note to everyone, if you want better windows xp taskbar u can use retrobar
that takes me back
Is there a way to get a start up and shut down XP sound ?
Yes, you can download it from some websites and replace the normal starup sound with the one you want
Bummer Valve killed of skins for Steam. Pixelvision 2 was my go to Steam skin after the 2011 or 2013 skin.
Will it help to use the customize layout for low-end computers?
hey how to i get the black shadow/outline around the font of your desktop icons? do i need window blinds for that?
how did you make the start menu go all the way to the side of your screen
Go to Display Settings then change size of text apps to 100%
Theres a problem with Classic Shell. The windows XP luna option doesnt appear.
In the start menu style, select "Classic with two columns" and then click select skin, instead of the default "windows 7 style"
why does mine not come with xp luna?
you might be using the windows 7 style. xp luna will show up on classic style and classic with two columns.
Windowsblinds has TRIPLED in price since…
The start button was too small for my taskbar
Amazing i love it
When i applied the theme my whole svreen just went black and i cant use my pc at all, tried rebooting and the issue persists, sometimes a welcome screen appears and them it just goes straight to black screen again
Window Blinds now 2024 $29 from $9.
piracy is based, just remember that
The start button is overlapping the taskbar icons I already tried small taskbar it looks more ugly and still overlaps.
you didn't update the description with the thing i told you on twitter, just letting u know cuz like maybe u forgot idk
fixed
"this is windows 10" oh we know...no need to caption that.
do you have an alternative to windows blinds, because no way in hell am I paying $20 for that shit, and I am not trusting torrents for that
I’m the person that gave you 1K likes on the video❤
hey how did u get the taskbar size to fit the xp button bc mines too big
It means your resolution doesn’t support the taskbar icon you selected
if i buy window blinds, do i get it for lifetime or i need to pay every month?
lifetime, i still have my license from when i bought it back when this vid was made. though TBH it's too expensive now. I recommend looking for "alternatives" ;)
Perfect, tysm and nice tutorial 👍@@ArmanaXD
Does this impact performance in games?
I want to know as well
quick answer no but on a very low end pc it does
Any non payed alternative?
Piracy.
@@ArmanaXD Based
My task bar is too big for the xp icon :(
How do I resize the taskbar so the start button isn't embedded in spare taskbar?
Right click and go to taskbar options and make it small I believe
How can we change the other icons though?
open-shell
You should of did it without your computer already looking like windows xp
as we can cook a egg with the HP laptop with amd ryzen 5 3600
None of the things are listed in the description. At least as far as I know...
oh SHOOT youre absolutely right! A while ago I changed every description and completely looked over the fact that i shouldnt change this one, I've fixed it now, thank you so much for telling me!
@@ArmanaXD No problem! Thanks for updating it!
@@ArmanaXD how do i switch it back?
@@ArmanaXD also i cant find the windows xp lua skin
Windowblinds is 45$ CAD. This is half a tank of gas, 2 good meals at a restaurant or a point an shoot camera. Absolutely ridiculous. I wouldnt pay more than 10$ for something like this.
yeah it used to be cheaper, it's NOT worth that much in any way, i recommend the "free" version iykyk
XP Does not appear on Open Shell anymore, what do I do?
Nevermind, did not realize you had to click the 2 column thing or whatever
@@cripmusicongfrfr wait how do you get xp skin
why tf is window blinds $53 AND THATS THE CHEAPEST OPTION but there is a 30 days free option so
piracy, it AINT worth that now LMAO

@@jonasnavarijo7477 ohh thank youuu
does this work with windows 11?
yes
If you use explorer patcher to restore windows 10 taskbar then yes.
I'm not spending $51 on that, wtf?

Alternate Title:
Windows 10 (or 11) Simply "Downgraded" to Windows XP
not necessarily it's just a look
This is not a good theme and heres why
1. Big taskbar icons
2. No taskbar icon labels
3. Volume icon in the taskbar is from windows 10
4. That clock looks weird
5. The Start menu has no name on it
6. The power off buttons on the start menus are off, the log off button doesnt exist and the shut down icon is on the light blue column
7. Desktop icon shadows
How do i set up tclock?
