i like retro stuff, a lot, and thats why i usually theme my things as such, so i got the theme Chicago 95 for my desktop, but i didnt like how it burned my eyes, and since there was no official dark option, i made it my self, tbh i think it looks very cool for a first timer with customizing like this, it looks sick, and im very happy and proud of my self

Now I'd personally leave the title bars blue, but all is valid.
On the other hand - adding a button background to semi-transparent icons looks a lot more like norton desktop - a visual utility for windows 3.1, if memory serves, but I mean if we're going after project chicago nit finished 95, then it's certainly close enough, it definitely fits the same general styling ideas.
Fun fact: Those were codified and universal. Used in Windows, OS/2 and several later versions of UNIX. The exacts differed, of course, but there was an agreed upon, standard UI style specification, and it was called Motif.

That Linux mint set up is cool man; I love the reddit theme too. I think you could look into palemoon if your interested in trying a more retro looking browser. I am pretty sure it is Firefox based but I don't think Firefox extensions fully work if I am not mistaken. There is a Linux version but I haven't tried it. But on my windows virtual machine I use it. Also how did you get your theme to be darker? You mentioned you did it in the post but not how.
i went to the theme files and changed values of the colors, and made the assets (images the theme uses) darker with a software like medibang ^v^
people have suggested me to use palemoon before, and tbh i only care about 3 extensions, Dark reader to make everything dark mode, Ublock origin, and Youtube Redux, a extension that makes youtube has its old layout, i'll definetly check it in the future, thanks
