LikeXP - Windows XP Theme for Obsidian

Bring back the nostalgia of the 2000s! LikeXP is a retro theme for Obsidian that carefully recreates the classic Windows XP aesthetic. It features the iconic Luna Blue for Light Mode and the sleek Royale Noir for Dark Mode.

✨ Features

• Classic Luna Blue (Light Mode): Authentic #ece9d8 window backgrounds, 3D beveled buttons, and the iconic blue titlebar gradient.
• Royale Noir (Dark Mode): A sleek, dark gray aesthetic inspired by the official Windows XP Royale Noir theme, with high-contrast pastel blue accents for readability.
• Retro UI Elements:
  • Classic Windows 9x/XP style scrollbars with 3D thumbs.
  • Dropdown menus and inputs styled with flat #7f9db9 borders (authentic Luna style) and classic blue focus rings.
  • Authentic dialog tabs and modal window designs.
• Windows Explorer File Tree: Replaces default Obsidian collapse arrows with classic Windows closed/open folder icons (📁/📂) in the File Explorer.
