Windows XP (Luna UI & Bliss)

Caption

Microsoft's iconic blue and green interface featuring glossy bevelled titlebars, tactile taskbar buttons, and realistic 3D icons.

Historical Impact

Windows XP's Luna theme and Bliss wallpaper defined a generation of PC computing — pill-shaped Start buttons, glossy beveled title bars, tactile taskbar buttons, and iconography that treated folders, files, and the recycle bin as physical objects on a green hillside desktop.
