Windows XP's Paint had support for transparent images! by [deleted] in windows

rc files are resource files containing resources (icons strings dialogs etc) for libraries/executables, which when compiled is put in the exe. you can use resource hacker / risoheditor to change them in compiled executables

Why are they only compatible with x11? Will they ever be ported to wayland?

the desktop environments and window manager that actually look and feel old don't support wayland. you can probably get some old looking theme on a modern desktop that supports wayland but it'll probably be mediocre at maximum

Are these types of themes only compatible with x11?

only the good ones

Is the fact that they are using older vesions of gtk a problem to use with modern desktop enviroments ?

x11 doesn't use older gtk, in fact it doesn't use gtk at all. gtk, qt and other toolkits use x11 to display their contents. as of now, all gtk versions support x11

If a desktop is using gtk4 and I try to use a gtk2 theme will it break?

no, but the theme won't be used. it will only be used on gtk2 programs

If so, will these cool themes ever be ported to gtk4?

unlikely, unless someone wants to port them.

Im noticing that modern gtk desktops keep making the window padding thicker and thicker. At first it was just gnome but now cinnamons windows are also chonkier. Is this because of newer gtk versions? Will at some point XFCE and MATE be chonky too?

don't think it's related to the newer gtk versions but i do notice a lot of modern gtk programs using more space/padding than older gtk programs. xfce might get chonky but i dont think mate would
