I don't have the money to spend on that sort of thing. I do have a dreamer Patreon for the project, but it's all very modest :)
I'll continue iterating on the look though. Here's a more recent demo that shows a bunch of pixel-related improvements:

- spronkey 7y agoMay I suggest using the Windows 2000 warm grey instead of the Windows 95 grey? It does a lot to make the UI feel less dark
- akling 7y agoThat's not a bad idea! I spend a lot of time hacking at night, with my monitor in "night mode" (warmer colors), so I didn't think much about how cold they look in the daylight. I should eventually add color theming so this can be done from a single place, and then I'll be sure to add a warmer option, too. And probably make it the default after I see how nice it looks :)
- spronkey 7y agoEven better, haha! Seriously impressive work though - one of these projects that show just how absurdly bloated and slow mainstream OS development has become.
