Candy is an unfinished experimental visual style that aims to replicate the Aqua theme used by Mac OS X. It was found in the leaked Windows XP source code and is speculated to further test the visual style engine first seen in build 2223. The date of the theme suggests that it was made between build 2250 and build 2257. The unmodified theme can run on the latter build, albeit with bugs due to commented-out code and its unfinished state.
A Reddit user claiming to be a former Microsoft intern who worked on this visual style wrote that the intention was to test as many features of the visual style engine as possible in a single theme.[1]
