ReactPlus!

ReactPlus! is a libre theme collection modeled after the Microsoft Plus! series of software and designed with ReactOS in mind.

For using ReacPlus assets on Linux, visit the ReacPlusYaru project.

Contents

ReactPlus! doesn't currently use visual styles, and conforms to the Windows Theme File Format up to Windows XP.

❌ denotes missing feature, pull requests welcome (see "Contributing" section bellow). Tango assets are used as placeholders for wallpapers and icons.

It should be noted that the Space theme includes support for slideshows, but is commented out, as it's intended to be for testing purposes should ReactOS implement it.

Default themes

• Retro (same colors and metrics as the Windows 95/98 default theme)
• Classic (same colors and metrics as the Windows XP classic theme)
