  • In 2013, Octavio Gaitan released some custom themes for the Windows 98 Operating System, it was later discontinued a year later in 2014, after that, the themes in question became lost media.
    That was, until January of 2023, when a user by the name of "Custom Themes for Retro Windows Project790" reuploaded all of the themes that were made in 2013 (with some exceptions), which is why I am making this video! Enjoy!
    DL Link to The Themes: archive.org/de...
    If the themes creator, Octavio Gaitan, wants me to take the video down or redact the download link, then I will happily oblige.

    I was also part of this, but I remember that there were more themes like:
    99 Balloons
    Adelaide's Village
    Lone penguin
    Octavio's World "This one did have a wallpaper and had a second version and composed different variants of sounds"
    School
    Sonic the Hedgehog 2 theme
    Primal Rage
    Turbo Windows
    And that, the rest I no longer remember or they are already lost media

      Ah, these were the ones I were only able to find, the rest are lost media afaik.

      Arabesque was also a theme. You can find the wallpaper and sounds for it, but as for the icons, they're the only ones that are hard to find for that theme. Hopefully you understand that.

      @@shermanzuki I just remembered other themes too thanks to noticing the "Custom Themes for Retro Windows Project790" account on Internet Archive
      The next ones that I remember are:
      Bunnies in Love
      Omgwilma
      Pet Cavalcade
      Stowaways
      The Garden Keeper
      Julia Justice
      Superkitty
      Life's a Beach
      Skunk Town
      Atari 2600 "I don't know if it's actually called that, but I remember hearing that annoying shutdown sound, which was from the E.T. Video Game."
      Tetris
      Chocolate World
      Hawaiian Getaway
      I did not have these last 7, because I had distanced myself from the creator of the themes in early 2014.

    It was first released as early in 2011 but I watched the 2012 version back in the day, then 2013 but they really discontinued in 2015-2016 like that in actual. Update: it was discontinued in 2018.

    I remember finding a windows 2000 professional installation disc like 5 yrs ago,but yeah it was kinda useless bcz i didn't have a such a PC which could run it,i had my Aunts Hp Compaq dc7600 CMT from 2005 or 2006 running XP,but yeah its cpu cooler was something unique,yeah bcz Pentium D needs proper cooling cuz of its heating issues,idk how my dads 2006 custom built looked like from inside i sadly never got to see it,i had it around but yeah no knowledge,just tried to reach the back by removing the front panel and stuff,i hope my dad had a second pc and didn't throw it away,if i find it ill try to uograde it upto windows xp or maybe somehow windows 7 for nostalgia
