FWIW Microsoft has broken, twisted and sheared off the look and feel of Windows so severely in the releases since Windows 7 that it's less visually (and interactional-y) consistent than a Linux desktop in 2013 running a mix of Qt 4/5 and Gtk 2/3 apps, which truly is an achievement. Whatever era of Windows widget styling you're using, no one can argue it looks wrong, since nothing looks right any more. Half of the dialogs in Windows nowadays look like they were made by a confused 12 year old who just discovered BS_FLAT and uses it on everything.
- TazeTSchnitzel 6y agoThe big difference between OS X/macOS and Windows is that when Apple restyle the UI, they make sure even the oldest apps get the new styles, though maybe not a full makeover. Microsoft on the other hand don't seem to want to do this? Even if they can't update third-party apps, why do they give so little attention to the built-in stuff? There's still the odd dialog straight out of Windows 3.1 in there even.
