ClassicOS 2000 Theme

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.
