Windows 95 or newer.  3.1 didn't have the "X" in the top right - it only had minimize and maximize/restore.  (Except Encarta 95, if memory serves, which ported the Win95 look to 3.1).

3.1 lol  It's probably Win 95 or 98x with custom style.  I used to have screen shots when I played on my 95 but I don't have the HDD from that computer anymore =(

I will look on some old HDD's to see if I have any oldies. ;D

On another note, does SC/BW even support 3.1 ?  :-\ (In terms of the actual game, not 3rd party programs)

Nah, it doesn't.  SC required DirectX which was part of Win9x.

(For reference for you young'uns this is Win3.  It's not b.net, but it's still epic:

Thanks. I'm only on my phone and was also on my phone when I made that post so I was unable to check. I might have some very old SS's. I'll check tonight after work.

I can only find screenshots that go back to December of 2002. I used to have a screenshot of this somewhere, but I have a text document of Skywing's old stats taken on December 11, 2002:

[quote]INFO: skywing's record:
[18:04:21] INFO: Normal games: 74560-66666666-40
[18:04:21] INFO: Ladder games: 0-0-0[/quote]

When viewing the profile on the game client, the 6's overlapped the word "Disconnects".

In referring to windows 3.1 I meant the bar below the tool bar, with the buttons on it. That design was common on windows 3.1, where you didn't really have buttons with very good graphics, and the borders for those buttons stood out. That's where I was coming from. I know the toolbar is win9x+, but those buttons look awefully old. Well, really old windows 95 programs had the same design, so meh.

I guess I'm really referring to applications (for example) like the old paint program.

@anyone: Anybody remember Knowledge Adventure '95?

My oldest screenshot of any note is probably of channel "The Void", when Soulburner had the first binary bots in there with about 25 concurrent instances.  However, I cannot put my hands on the screenshot at the moment.

Sorry to update an older thread but I have something useful to add (circa 2004). A screen shot of what I believe to be a Blizzard rep impersonator, not an actual Rep, since back then there was some crook banning people seemingly randomly from Clan channels for no reason. Also, in this screenshot, no one was flooding the channel.

nah they banned people for just idleing in open tech constantly, depended who was working that night.

There was many suspiscious circumstances about that day. For one, I wasn't idling, two, Denial was caught banning people from public and private channles, other people that were idle in the channle for much longer weren't banned or booted. If a Blizzard rep impersonator wasn't to blame for that incident, that's fine, but I recall for sure instances of Blizz rep fraud where people got booted, banned or impersonated for no reason other than pranks or what not.
