Thanks for covering XP Delta. I’ve pretty much been done with the project for a few months now, but I am glad it’s been getting all this attention. There’s actually a whole unofficial Windows 10 Delta over in China, if anyone’s interested. It’s kinda weird having your “bootleg” get bootlegged itself.

I helped Skye out with XP Delta, a lot of the new icons, the intro, the bootscreen were all made by me! I am so happy you covered it, the video itself is definitely interesting.

Great video as always and awesome to see this modified version of Windows. Also please never change the outro music for your videos - it always makes me feel good inside.

Aw, it comes with the Utopia sounds? That's freaking cool! I loved Utopia; it was the default sound scheme on my childhood HP Pavilion 6545C.
As for why they sound similar to Microsoft Bob, well, that's because Microsoft Bob's development codename was "Utopia".

Not only the boot screen is different. The login screen also looks like beta. There are semi-transparent clouds in the background. In the RTM version, this is only a bright, radial gradient.

i just wanted to say i’ve been obsessed with your videos lately. i stumbled upon one of your minecraft videos a bit ago but i really enjoy these types of videos as well. the style is calming, yet entertaining and informative. i love your sense of humor too 😭 keep it up :)

The Watercolor window style from Whistler was my favorite too. I was sad to see them scrap it in XP.

So happy you did this walkthrough. Very cool!

The creators of this also did Delta versions of Windows Vista, 7, and 8.1, which serve the same purpose as this one.
Along with XP Delta, all of them are absolutely fantastic mods of Windows and I couldn't recommend them enough if you're into beta stuff.

The Trinity desktop environment (KDE 3 fork) has a Watercolor lookalike style available. Was really pleased to see it, and people looking to run a modern OS on an older computer may enjoy it. Q4OS includes it, last I checked.

Imagine how cool it would be for somebody to rip the XP Watercolor theme elements and apply them to KDE 5? That would be awesome!

Nothing like Michael MJD reviewing a weird Windows mod.

good to see you as always, never get to come this early to your videos, so, i'm glad i'm here, keep up the great work!

The Watercolor theme in Purple looks REALLY good!

Not sure if anyone has noticed, but the logon backround is slightly different, than in RTM versions. RTMs has this bright circle in a upper left corner, but here are the clouds ;)

My favourite theme for XP was Media Centre Edition, Luna theme is a classic but it was never my favourite visual style. I enjoyed using XP however

Zone92 has a heavily modded XP with every possible add on you can think of. It is what I use on old computers.

This was when Windows was fun, now sadly it's not unless I really put the work into modifying it. I have most of those wallpapers and visual styles. I miss making these custom versions too, I might go back to doing them again. 🙂
