A theme that tries to faithfully reproduce the classic look of PC operating systems at the turn of the millenium.
Includes a wide range of color schemes, some including a dark mode.
Currently this is only a GTK 2/3 theme (GTK 4 Support coming soon - some bugs need to be squashed first). You'll need to find your own widow manager theme.
Pairs well with the accompanying scalable icon theme found at https://github.com/ClassicOS-Themes/ClassicOS-2000-Icons, and the Tahoma font family.
Build Dependencies: sassc and meson
For Arch Linux Users, a PKGBUILD file exists at https://github.com/ClassicOS-Themes/ClassicOS-2000-Theme-PKGBUILD
By default, meson builds the ClassicOS2000 theme with the "Standard" color scheme.
meson --prefix=$HOME/.local builddir
ninja -C builddir
ninja -C builddir install
meson builddir
ninja -C builddir
ninja -C builddir install
The Following commands will build and install the "Spruce" colorscheme to ~/.local/share/themes
meson -Dcolorscheme="spruce" -Ddark_colorscheme="spruce_dark" -Dtheme_name="ClassicOS2000-Spruce" --prefix=$HOME/.local builddir
ninja -C builddir
ninja -C builddir install
The Following commands will build and install the "98 Default" colorscheme to ~/.local/share/themes:
meson -Dcolorscheme="98/default" -Ddark_colorscheme="98/dark_mode_blue" -Dtheme_name="ClassicOS98" --prefix=$HOME/.local builddir
ninja -C builddir
ninja -C builddir install
Running quickbuild.sh will compile all the colorschemes and install them to ~/.local/share/themes.
