Hi,

Not sure about Windows, but there are Amiga-style themes for Linux.

For a basic Amiga-style window manager, check out AmiWM (http://www.lysator.liu.se/~marcus/amiwm.html).

Or, if you're running a Gnome-based environment, how about the Amiga Bluetabs-Light theme (http://www.gnome-look.org/content/show.php?content=19814).

You need to buy windows blinds. The trial version does not support custom downloaded skins.

I have tried two Amiga skins from wincustomize and they have just not look good. Both have some problems.

But there is a object bar theme on the sime website. It worths to tray.

I made this one (http://www.wincustomize.com/ViewSkin.aspx?SkinID=5200&LibID=1&comments=1) a while ago, it works fine. My objectbar has gone from the wincustomize site though :(
