EDIT: v0.9 released
and a dark version
I really just put a bunch of pieces together. Forked from Reactionary Plus, but swapped out the icons, cursors, window decorations, color scheme, and made some slight tweaks to the layout.
More screenshots and changelogs here: https://store.kde.org/p/2330858
To install this, open System Settings, go to Colors & Themes -> Global Theme. In the top right there's a button for "Get New...", wait for it to load (it's very slow) then search for reactionary, and wait again, then install Reactionary 98.
This is my first time messing with any of this stuff, it was a bit janky lol.
tbh it doesn't really accurately look 98, especially the taskbar, but it still looks great. nice functional unix desktop.
Wouldn't an exact replica be technically illegal?
well if you slap microsoft's logos on it well maybe, technically.. but who cares?
even back in the days there were a LOT of unix desktops made to look like windows as now. try searching fvwm95 for example
ReactOS gets by with it
I certainly wouldn't call that pixel perfect either though.
