I had to test something and needed a skin with sounds.

I found this on by dani and fired it up in XP and Win7

While it could use some tweaking, I was amazed at well an eight year old skin held up.

 

 

What's the oldest skin you have installed on your system (Snowy can't play) and what's the old time skin you go back to?

I end up with Vector-cell (https://www.wincustomize.com/explore/windowblinds/4350/) adn DogmaX (https://www.wincustomize.com/explore/windowblinds/5498/)

I may need to fire up my XP VM and download ALL these skins!

Some elements reworked by me for Windows 7 compatibility.

This I reworked for Vista some years ago, but it works just fine on W7

/me can't play, eh?

Well, F'you. Since when have I played by the rules? ;)

Makinarama by the God of skinning, Master of graphics and Ruler of design - now and then, treetog. No one above, only few beside him. (Only three come to mind actually. Hippy, MikeB314 and Voo)
Made back in 2000, and released in 2001.
I DO have older skins installed, but they do not have the startmenu skinned. (Note for future (Windows XP) projects)
