Don’t do it, john!
Computer interfaces evolved away from this for very good reasons. It’s an amusing project, but I foresee that the joke will have got old before you can download and activate the theme.
The biggest kick I got from seeing this theme is remembering that when I first saw an interface like this (would have been about 1990) it looked incredibly smart and, well, graphical - and compared to what we’d been used to before that, it was.

Heh, well I’m only curious really. And the K2 theme I’m using is structured in such a way that most of the sidebar stuff wouldn’t work without setting up new WP “widgets”.
I used to have a Mac app that ran a virtual version of OS 6 in OS 9. No use really apart from being able to play with Mac Paint and a couple of other programs. My first Mac system was OS 7 so the black and white Mac layout always looks odd.
