I unironically used this theme when I was a kid!

what kind of themes did you use to customize your operating systems or software?

Did you keep the standard themes or did you spend hours customizing the look and feel?

Ah yes! Not so much themes, but I got a demo copy of a Windows 3.1 shell called Wayfarer from a magazine cover disk, and spent many happy hours setting that up. Also creating mashups of the standard wallpapers in Paintbrush, and fiddling with ChromaZone.
