      The theme is Expose, you can get it from the theme settings, “Get New…”

    I think it stayed similar from 95 - 98 - XP. Some XP started to show a 3D version, but there's the flat simpler one out there too.

      I was curious about this so I did a little historical lookup.

      I can only ever find the modern “smooth 3d” Windows icon in any Windows XP image, screenshot, release event image, anything. XP has only ever used the modern 3d flag. Image

      The last time Microsoft seemed to have used the square flag with tail Windows image was in Windows 2000 or ME, pre-XP launch. Image

      I did find images of ME also using the 3d flag, but I can’t confirm they’re actually of original OE Microsoft branding. MS did still sell retail copies of 2000 and ME alongside XP for a short while, so it’s possible they updated the older OS branding (not that anyone wanted 2000 or ME at that point). But why would they backtrack XP’s branding??

      I really have no clue where this XP image with the square flag is from, it’s either art someone created to backdate its design aesthetic or its an AI hallucination.
