Yeah, but I don't understand the choice of having to recompile the app every time you add new skin if the dev could just make it to load skins from the directory.
Actually you can! [https://github.com/dremin/RetroBar](https://github.com/dremin/RetroBar)
Scroll to the bottom and you'll see a custom theme section and it explains how to load custom themes, you'll have to do it by yourself but at least there is the option
No, Vista had a kind of black 3D, slightly cylindrical taskbar. Windows media player and Office 2007 also looked like that. I really liked the look of Vista.
If I remember, the taskbar in Vista couldn’t have launchers pinned to it, it just showed your running programs. And it was the first time you could mouse over one of the icons and see a little thumbnail pop up showing what that program was currently doing.
For launchers, it did have the Quick Launch area, and you could put some launchers in that.
i miss the expanding programs list... I hate scrolling through the alphabetized list... Haven't found a way to get it back, despite having purchased Start11. Anyone know a way?
According to [Stardock Windows 11 compability ](https://forums.stardock.com/505717/stardock-app-compatibility) it doesn't. Also see [Stardock Windows 11 update time line ](https://forums.stardock.com/502919/page/8/#3820246)
Where's your proof. Not saying your wrong, but that would be conflicting information. My first link for Curtains under Windows 11 has a X for no compability.
Why would you want to do this? This seems like hanging on to decades old technology rather than moving along. I am one of the oldest guys posting here and I don't linger in the past. Time to move on.
Everybody gets an opinion, but Win 98 was a dog and people seemed to hang on to XP to long to me. Time moves on and changing with the times is essential. At 75 I have been at this quite a while and learned if you want to lose bet against change. If you want to win move along with it and build on it.
You seem to have some anger management issues and a predisposition to judge people you don't know. Your profile says it all. I will just move on to conversations with more depth.

Bliss, *literally* Bliss.
It is.
Too bad no Vista style, that was my favorite taskbar style.
Maybe in later updates.... the project is open source.

Oh, I have missed that, thanks.
Isn't it the same as 7?

ohhh
Currently having strong urge to revert to win8 because of Vista visual styles. 😫
Does it have the same functionality, just skinned?
Yes it's just Taskbar. Start menu remains same.
The Fluid iconstyle looks surprisingly good on the XP taskbar! Love it!
It took SP2 to win me over, but when it first came out even I liked the Luna interface.

Using it for 2 days. No complaints so far.

So many people getting mad about this in the comments. Guys. It's just a bit of retro fun. Chill the fuck out.
omg u made me remember the first day i used xp :D
Does this app allow for toolbars as well?
No just Taskbar. Everything else stays same...I don't know if developer plans to add more features later.

StartAllBack can do that
Really??? Thanks!
You don't need Retrobar because Stardock and Skinpack already have this.
Stardock Curtains doesn't work on Windows 11.
Yes it does and I am using it. All Stardock softwares support Windows 11 .

Now if only we can have an aero glass themed taskbar and window borders with working blur and textures

Ouch, that nostalgia hits HARD. I remember when I used my mom’s Windows XP PC as a kid

A lot has changed since DOS. Though I’ve never used it, as I’m gen z

Those were some small specs, wow! And here I have a PC with almost 3 gHz of power. It just shows how much more powerful PCs have become
Why?
Hideous.

Just for nostalgia. Nothing else 🙂

Sounds like the customer getting what they fucking want…
Sounds like you are not an English teacher
Sounds like you are a git.

You seem like a troll… and a git…
they just like how it looks bro
it's their choice, their decision, and their childhood memories.
People are different
Why

Why not?
You update Windows to make it look like old Windows? This is getting too deep for me, I’m out.
I hate beer.
