Which OS and version is this?

It's MacOS 9 running on a PowerBook G3, with Holiday Lights running and a Kaleidoscope Scheme from Xmas 1999 applied! Although the same screenshot could be taken on any color Mac back to System 7.5 I think

Oh god, the eyes that follow your cursor! I am being flooded with Windows 95 memories right now.

There were some extreme examples, one with a MASSIVE dragon head and legs coming out of every single window. There's a bot on mastodon that posts a random one every couple hours.
