I guess noting ever really goes out of style
Monday, March 6, 2006 by Sembetu | Discussion: Customization Software
Okay,
Lately, I have been wondering if after Vista comes out, whether or not the market for XP styles is going to fade. Well after seeing this, I am no longer worried about that. I guess some things never really go out of style...
This guy has akinned Windows 3.1, that's right, 3.1 folks. I know, you are saying, "So!?", "Who cares about Windows 3.1 anymore?" Well, that's not really the point, although it is the point of the link. The point I am making is that it seems there is a market for all sorts of mods. Seems kind of quaint.
You thoughts are appreciated.

If you look a bit more closely you'll see that Calmira has been around for quite a while....
I've used it for years myself...

Tycos: the link in the article isn't to a poor Win3.1 skin on XP. It's Win3.1 skinned to look like XP. 
This is cool though. My father got a laptop with Win3.1. ...hmm... or perhaps my brother does. I'll see if I can get hold of it when I get home.

Sorry, but how is this skinning?
Calmira is a shell replacement, admittedly with an XP look, not a skinning program.

I remembering using an add-on for 3.1 that did quite a bit to make the interface more useful and alter parts of it. I forget its name, but no one had thought of making an XP look then as it didn't exist of course.
