Title: Help Me Make My Windows 3.1 Theme BETTER?
Post by: KillerBee on Thu, 12 January 2012, 01:28:23

I have decided to make windows 7 resemble the old 3.1, spent plenty of time with 3.1 and my IBM PS/2 L40 SX from 1991 till 1996 this was my main computer with a Panasonic KX-P1124 Dot Matrix, later I moved to a IBM P/S 1 thats where I met my first M it was an M2 though :(

I wanted to get back into the 3.1 mood this is what I have so far

Well, you need the classic theme, with the 3.1 style buttons here (http://browse.deviantart.com/customization/skins/windows7/visualstyle/?q=classic&order=9&offset=0#/d3ccyf9), then need apply a custom shell style to it without the back/forward buttons, no address bar, no tree view... and kill the taskbar.

My best bet and easy to do.
- install Vmware
- put the real Windows 3.1 in it
- full screen ?

Thanks,
