On a slight tangent, back in the day it was easy to knock up a Java GUI for an app, only to present it to a client who would then mistakenly think it was the finished product.
There was a pluggable look-and-feel for Java Swing called the NapkinLAF, which presented the UI using a pseudo hand written font and irregular lines.
Clearly writing Java GUIs have been dead for a while, but the project lives on at http://napkinlaf.sourceforge.net/ http://napkinlaf.sourceforge.net/ and has some screenshots of what it made the GUI look like.
- userbinator 6y agoYes, back when OS/app appearance was still very customisable, themes like that were not uncommon. ...and if sites which contained lots of mobile screenshots like damnyouautocorrect.com (seems to have disappeared, and I can't find anything on what happened to it...?) were any indication, it seems a lot of people like script fonts too.
