Modernized MS-DOS Theme
By Eviljubs in Custom Themes
I worked on this a while ago and completed it for the project I was intending to but never really released the results. It uses boot sequence sounds and old hard drives spinning as well as hard drive search sounds for the interface sounds. The idea was to recreate the feeling of using an interface like this on an old computer (I specifically built it for my CRT setup in particular). This version is in 16:9 but I have a 4:3 version somewhere as well, I'll just need to find it and upload it but I don't remember exactly where it is. I also messed with a couple of other colors for the text/lines etc. However I never really finished those as I didn't like them as much as the white. You can easily edit this to change the colors in the Community Theme Creator if you want.
I also added some animations for the text as well as the images so that they appear to load in slowly -- these can also be tweaked for speed in the community theme creator or even removed completely if that's preferable. Here's an example of what it looks like starting up and navigating around a bit:
If you want to edit this or add to it feel free to do whatever you like, I just ask you to please upload your work for the community to use.
Edit: I managed to find the alternative colors I was working on, and my backups for theme creator as well as a version that I use on my CRT screens that removes the fake scanlines (since real CRTs have real scanlines). I believe that version is also 4:3 aspect ratio. Please be aware these may be unfinished, as I'm unsure of the state they're in, they were just on my personal storage server.
