This is giving me warm vibes, so I’d love to find a theme that is like this. Does anyone know any? I’m using GNOME, but any DE that can pull this off is fine.
Are you a bot lmao it looks nothing like lcars
Well, those windows reminded me of this old VLC skin.
And no, not a bot. Just a random internet user.
Suuure

Exactly what a bot would say. It has a very human design.
Very easy to use!
I’m busted I guess. Beep boop.

Oh man, not case sensitive, NOOOOOO!!N
OP’s example is like LCARS only in that they both share some colours.
I can see it, but this is a 17 year old Metacity theme, thanks for the effort though :-)
Well that was the quickest random result I had while searching on mobile. Just to pave the way at least :)
I want this so bad. Although in practice I imagine none of this will fit together well with the YouTube interface or with a custom desktop background.
what does fit well with the youtube interface though?
if only they made the thumbnails just a little bit bigger. My monitor still fits 9 of them, tsk tsk

Thank you Tampermonkey, for allowing me to fix the YouTube UI.
Your answer is $(echo )
I honestly don’t understand what you mean by that.
My guess is that it should infinitely call echo on itself where the
$()substitutes the commandechointo the terminal, which calls it with echo.In bash, $(command) is replaced with output of command when run. This command has no output.
Oh I see, it was intentional. I thought to myself “this has no output, there is nothing”. Well it makes sense now. :D
It would be cool though if it existed.
Where did you got this image from? Knowing its origin could help find the source of the theme, if it is at all an existing theme.
Found it on some Japanese image aggregator website, I can’t remember how I came across it, just that I liked it esthetically.
That image seems to be on stock image sites like this one. So it’s just an image. Didn’t see any version that is converted to an actual theme.
The image shows a theme that mimics the old Windows interface, like Windows 95 or Windows XP, but in a stylized, cartoonish way. Key features: Retro style: Pronounced window borders, simple controls, flat colors. Pastel colors: Muted shades of gray, beige, yellow, and blue predominate. Icons: Simple, cartoonish icons with a retro feel. Borders: Black outlines enclose each interface element. To find a theme that looks the same, I need to know what exactly you want the theme for. This could be: Theme for external systems (Windows, macOS, Linux): There are themes for customizing the look of your OS. Theme for a website/blog: If you want your site to have a retro look. Theme for applications (Discord, Telegram, etc.): Some applications allow you to change the look using themes. Presentation theme (PowerPoint, Google Slides): Create a retro-style presentation. Please specify what you need this theme for, and I can give more specific search suggestions. General search terms: Retro theme, Windows 95 theme, Windows XP theme, Aesthetic theme, Cartoon Windows theme, Pastel retro theme, Where to look for themes: For Windows: DeviantArt, ThemeRaider, Microsoft Store (search for keywords) For macOS: MacThemes, Reddit (r/macThemes) For Linux: GNOME-Look, KDE Store For websites: ThemeForest, TemplateMonster (search for keywords) For apps: Look for themes in most apps or on sites dedicated to the app. In any case, keep in mind that finding an exact restoration of this theme may be difficult. You will likely have to search for something similar and possibly customize it yourself.
Get ai out of here
- I am not AI
- If about information, then I gave it to help a person
We don’t come to social media for AI copypasta. People who want spicy autocomplete answers can prompt LLMs themselves.

It just looked a lot like an AI image classifier.
If OP would be interested in an AI generated answer, they would just type the question there. It’s not something only you can do.
And it doesn’t even answer the question, it sounds like the out of touch answers on microsoft support forum, why did you copied it here. You haven’t even read it? This is one of the worst usecase of an LLM I have ever seen.
Made images through AI or not it makes no difference at all, I just discounted that a person can help, even if my answer is from AI or not it does not deny the fact that he gave not a bad answer but a good option. I don’t even know why you’re bothering to start talking shit hahaha.
Your generated answer contains no relevant information. You asked the bullshit machine incorrectly, as from the community it should be clear that OP is looking for a Linux related theme, and from the image it should be clear it’s a wm or de. Not a terminal. Not a Google Slide (wtf) or whatever.
The only slightly relevant part was listing GNOME-Look and KDE Store.
I’m not a luddite, this current AI technology is a nice and interesting tool, but please don’t bring it here this way. We are humans discussing a topic, we don’t need this off-putting and irrelevant wall of text. You gain nothing, we gain nothing, no VC fund behind lemmy, there is no incentive to generate content above all. Your karma means nothing, it’s only point is sorting comments in a thread.

This is so obviously ai.
Lmao I can’t believe anybody would post that shit and then try to pass it off as human. It’s maybe the most worthless slop I’ve seen in a while.
I said that I am not an AI, but I gave information from an AI because there was more information about this image.
It’s just a blob of regurgitated pointless words. It’s like pasting a Google search of OPs question.
Let me
GoogleChatGPT that for you.
I used Google Lens on the picture and it brought up a lot of sites like Shutterstock. If you’re better with icons than me you can probably do something with it.

It looks like the kind of interface they’d use in classic Pokemon or Stardew Valley. I like the colours.
XFCE looks closest shape-wise. it also has the advantage that you can customise it using css.
while not exactly what you’re looking for, DesktopPal97 may be worth looking into as a base for your own theme.
Has anyone not mentioned Openbox yet? Window decorations look like the NeXT style, just colourful.
I’d suppose if you ask this on KDE Reddit someone with enough time could make something like this with Kvantvm, though the difficult parts would be (1) the web browser theme, and specially (2) the icon theme - I have never ever seen an icon theme like that for Linux
It almost looks like an old BeOS theme maybe? This Haiku one for GTK isn’t too far off, so maybe you can start with this and alter it how you like: https://github.com/B00merang-Project/Haiku
really nice! I guess it’s a tiling window manager that arranges desktop icons too?
Yellow bars for inputs/dialogs, Blue for general popups(?), orange for errors and file managers, and white for tabbed windows/browsers.
I don’t know of a specific theme in the neubrutalism/neobrutalism style (names that are generally used to this style or aesthetic), but it shouldn’t be too hard to make.
For anyone unfamiliar it’s generally defined by flat, blocky layouts, with thick borders, single color drop shadows and a few bold high contrast colors (think CGA and EGA monitors if you’re that old). It’s often features “unpolished” elements like flat simple shapes. Bold fonts and monospace fonts are pretty common.
There are a few resources out there if anyone wants to play around with this style.

Paper GTK theme is a little bit similar, though with more vibrant colours ofc.

My problem with that theme is that it doesn’t highlight any buttons. I believe all buttons should have borders, especially the ones the titlebar. This helps distinguish a noninteractive label from an interactive clickable button.
