Theme Overview
Windows XP transforms your portfolio into a living replica of Microsoft’s most beloved operating system. The layout anchors a classic taskbar along the bottom of the screen, while your bio, projects, and skills surface inside individual floating windows — each with the signature blue title bar, minimize/maximize/close buttons, and bevelled chrome that defined the XP era. Desktop icons serve as navigation shortcuts, and the overall colour palette of sky blue, green hillside wallpaper, and silver controls makes the nostalgia immediate and undeniable. Typography leans into the era’s system-font conventions, reinforcing the illusion at every turn.Design Highlights

Who This Theme Suits
Windows XP is perfect for developers, engineers, and creative technologists who grew up with XP and want their portfolio to reflect both personality and technical craft. It works especially well for those in gaming, web history, or retro-tech spaces where nostalgia is a strength rather than a quirk — and for anyone who wants visitors to remember their site long after they’ve closed the tab.At a Glance
