Switch to the dark side!

Screenshots / 3.1 X

Artist's Note

I wanted to do a more retro screenshot so I decided to go back to one of my first operating systems, Windows 3.1, and take inspiration from there. Made a little more stylish so I could bear using it, this is the result.

PICVIEW// windows hacked, vjepg

FIREFOX// by me
GNOTIFY// hacked
PAPER// remix of j3concepts vol.1

Yeah, that is the bomb right there! Really a great oldschool look, you should have entered the ssc07 with this man! What is that smaller version of the image in the bottom left, or is that part of the wallpaper?

i've been into these light vs for a while (especially gris) and must say that this vs looks sweet. Maybe have an alternative without that blue border, but that just a thought.

looks awesome m8 <3

Outstanding. I love the VS and the general atmosphere so much that I'm even willing to overlook the pixel font. Excellent job on this one.

I thought that font was in the Standard family. Standard 05_55 or some thing.

The font is, as mad said, kroeger 6_55. I totally love miniml fonts, so apologise for those who dislike them.
