This one looks pretty damn good if you are into the look Windows 7 had.

Were people ever into the windows 7 look? I always thought it looked like Playschool toys and would strip the theme back to the stark functionality of the NT style

XP was the Playskool look. Not 7. 7 had transparent everything. 7 was more the "Atomic Purple Gameboy" era of Windows.

Oh, guess that's true, I still always removed the theming on 7/8, but you're right much more like a grey iMac from 1999

Finally, a well designed ui

I think this is peak UX, funny, beautiful.

A bit too Windows-y

Would be interested in porting it to Plasma6 Wayland
