Hi, have there been any ports of the Watercolour theme to Windows 2000. Obviously Windows 2000 does not support visual styles, but i'm wondering because, packs like RP 9.7 allow Windows 98/ME to have skins, so it should definitely be possible.

IIRC it was mentioned here several times it is NOT possible... Though I myself haven't tried yet. :/

IIRC WindowsBlinds came with a Watercolor theme back in the day, though I haven't used it in years.

If an old version of WindowBlinds is supported, it should work with the Watercolour theme for that program. I used WindowBlinds on my XP machine.

you could try if it's possible to replace DLL files like user32 comctl32 themeux and a few more with updated whistler files
