  • Slashdot - looks like Slashdot, complete with green bars (and rounded corners) and “posted at” times. (4.5/5)
  • DOS Box - looks like a DOS command prompt windows, complete with C:\YourName> prompt. (4.3/5)
  • Windows XP - similar to XP’s folder grouping. (2.6/5)
  • PHP - looks like PHP code in a text-based HTML editor. (3.9/5)
  • A combo of Bubbles and Ping Pong themes. (2.8/5)
  • Windows XP - dialog boxes in the XP style (3.6/5)
  • Daring Fireball - based on the website, white text on a charcoal gray background. (3.6/5)
  • mIRC - By Phillip, resembles an IRC chat window (I’m using it right now). (3.8/5)
  • Windows 9X - Windows 98-era dialog boxes. (3.4/5)
  • Shoop - sheep with dialog balloons on a blue background. (4.0/5) Page also includes several other decent themes.
