I unironically used this theme when I was a kid!

what kind of themes did you use to customize your operating systems or software?

Did you keep the standard themes or did you spend hours customizing the look and feel?

absolutely loathed the hotdog color scheme, and my sister knew it, she'd always change it back to that scheme.

I prefer muted dark colors, easier on my eyes. back in win3.1 I mostly used dos5

yeah I can see how the theme might be overwhelming, I am partially colorblind thought so maybe that is the reason I found it so appealing
