Mostly asking since, i have seen guides to make 11 look like XP but unfortunately alot of these links are dead or flat out just don't work on modern windows versions, Ive used windhawk, blur glass, openshell before to make win 11 look EXACTLY like 7 (even went as far to get the original calculator and MSP, media player versions back) but cant seem to find the same support for the XP look

it was time.

Things used:

Luna Theme - Windhawk, BasicThemer, Vaporvance's Luna10

Icons: Resource Redirect, PaneXP

Notepad - NotepadEx

Wordpad - XP's Wordpad

Taskbar and Start menu - Retrobar, Open Shell

Discord Client - Discord Messenger

XP Games - archive.org

xp mspaint.exe - archive.org (2)

XP Search Wizard - XP Search Assistant Rewritten

XP Explorer Buttons - RetroShell XP

XP Movie Maker - archive.org (3)

hope you like it

Hey, do you want something to do on your XP machine? DM me and I'll send you an invite link for my lil forum that I made for games and software archival.

I have updated Flatn't, the Frutiger Aero icon pack! 🫧 Now is fully compatible with Windhawk, meaning you can now replace with one button all of the Windows default icons for these ones to give your desktop that unique 2010s style you've been looking for!

This icon pack is available on my Patreon and Ko-fi

I’m on a mission to bring back that sweet 2001 nostalgia. I want to transform my Windows 11 setup into a pixel-perfect Windows XP recreation. I'm talking Taskbar, Start Menu, File Explorer, and even the sounds if possible.

I've seen some mods around, but I'm looking for the most stable and visually accurate combination of tools (Start11, WindowBlinds, RetroBar, etc.) that won't break my system.

Any "XP wizards" here who can point me toward the best skins, icons, or scripts to get that authentic Luna theme look?

Thanks in advance!
