The min effect can be done with windowfx.

The ram issue all depends on how much you are looking to use. Just the theme itself and windowblinds uses less then 1 mb and 2 mb VM. Then of course the screen shot has trillian pro running (~10MB) and then the widgets (~1-2MB) for each widget (depends on which program you use) and objectdock free (1-2MB idle, 4-5MB on zoom)

I use all the these programs except the widgets on my older laptop using XP pro that only uses 256 mb and it runs fine.

how much ram does the normal luna theme use?

One question - how did you change your font for the various entries in the Start Menu? Mine defaults to Tahoma, and it looks out of place.

Otherwise, pretty smooth useable theme. One minor nitpick - in Firefox, all the menus are a pure shade of grey, but I'd guess that that's Firefox's fault.

After some userChrome.css tweaking (shamelessly ripped from Firefox help and Mozillazine's forums :p), I finally managed to cook up some menus that aren't a total shade of grey :)

/* Customise the look of your menus */
menupopup, popup {
   border: 1px solid !important;
   -moz-border-left-colors: #ACACAC !important;
   -moz-border-top-colors: #ACACAC !important;
   -moz-border-right-colors: #ACACAC !important;
   -moz-border-bottom-colors: #ACACAC !important;
   padding: 2px !important;
   background-color: Menu !important;
}
menubar > menu {
   border: 1px solid transparent !important;
   padding: 2px 5px 2px 7px !important;
   margin: 0 !important;
}
menubar > menu[_moz-menuactive="true"] {
   background-color : Highlight !important;
   color: HighlightText !important;
}

/* Change the way menu separators look */
menuseparator {
  border-top: 1px solid #ACACAC !important;
  border-bottom: 0px solid !important;
}

The dividers and menu edges are now way more distinct. The menu background is still a dull shade of grey though, although it *might* be possible to change it to an image.

I updated the first post with an article I wrote. Go there and under cursorxp I have a link to download cursors for strictly xp.

And the reason your tabs are like that is because of your font. Delete your copy of Lucida Grande and install the one that came with my theme.

    • No updated SSD capacity, no updated specs (not surprised tbf), just nostalgia baiting! Bring back the boot sequence and the UI as an easter egg!
    • Why? It will just cost so much more and make you PC poor and they become PC rich off your calamities! “Just because you can” isn’t a flex either!.
    • Microsoft confirms a new, useful Teams' app is coming very soon by Sayan Sen In the modern digital workspace meeting recordings and summaries are very commonplace, still finding the right recap later can be surprisingly difficult. To address that inconvenience Microsoft is working on a new dedicated meeting recap application designed to bring all meeting recaps into a single, centralized location. In a recent announcement on its Microsoft 365 roadmap website, the company has confirmed the new applet and has explained how the new experience will work and why it believes it can help users stay on top of discussions without having to search through multiple chats, calendars, or files. For those unfamiliar, meeting recaps provide a summary of key discussions, decisions, action items, and other relevant information generated after a meeting ends. They are intended to help participants revisit important points while also allowing those who missed the meeting to quickly catch up on what happened. Traditionally locating older recaps could require users to navigate through various conversations or meeting histories. The new meeting recap app aims to simplify that process by gathering all available recaps into one dedicated hub. According to Microsoft, this should make it easier to browse past meetings, review outcomes, and stay informed about ongoing projects and discussions. One notable feature of the applet is the addition of quick filters which are meant to allow users to instantly narrow down the list of available recaps and surface specific meetings without manually searching through extensive records. Audio recap is also there. If you're wondering how long these recaps will last before self-expiring, the app will provide access to meeting recaps from the past 30 days or approximately one month. You can view the feature entry here on the official Microsoft 365 (M365) website under roadmap ID 564614. Its rollout is set to begin this month (June 2026). Do keep in mind though that new feature rollouts often get delayed.
    • Does it have couch co-op is the question I have here.
