Exactly- Win 3.1x- and look at two things to verify that.
    First, the upper right boxes tell the story, because of the buttons.
Second, look at the background- it has that old style background!  Little bits
like ants to "gray out" the desktop!

Cheers!

It could be Windows XP with ClearType font rendering using a 3.x theme.

Looks like it's rendering a text file.

In fact it is.  One of the themes that comes with WindowBlinds is a
Windows-3.1-style layout.  The corner-resizers are wrong, of course,
and I used error diffusion dither instead of ordered dither, and the
path names shown are obviously not 8.3 filenames.  And the ClearType
font thing (which I think is darn neato).

But I can't use WindowBlinds because I screwed up my copy of Windows;
I can't even switch back to XP-style buttons etc, which WindowBlinds
needs to have active to configure...it switches back to vanilla look
when I open display properties.  *sigh*

I think it's ugly as sin (Cleartype, that is)  And if I wanted my text 
to look blurred, I'd take my glasses off and use my left eye...

Antialiasing is fine, but what Cleartype does is blurring...

Besides, Cleartype is designed for flatpanel displays and laptops.  IMO 
using it on a CRT is an abomination ;)
