  • I really like GTK4 / Adwaita and dislike the look and feel of QT, but I guess that's just personal preference.

    You can change the colors of Adwaita using https://github.com/GradienceTeam/Gradience it even has a mode to extract colors from your background like current android versions

  • win98wallpapers

    Remakes and upscales of Windows 98 wallpapers.

  • yes, technically that is possible, but it would give you an image with... big square blocks instead of tiny pixels.

    I'm thinking of achieving something like https://github.com/nestoris/win98wallpapers, and maybe Midjourney's img2img (as the other commenter suggested) might be able to do something like that, I don't know.
