Compared to today, when I see Win9x & WinXP I feel a strange bit of innocence and how simple it was back then, both for individual developers & industry as a whole. (kinda difficult to articulate what I want to say)
May be its not the Windows but 90s & early 2000s ... don't know.
- meibo 6y agoAbsolutely - I'd like to know why exactly MS decided to make the classic theme unaccessible. On early Windows 10 versions, you were able to re-enable it by stopping the window manager from creating the modern theme resources, I'm not sure if that still works but it leads me to think that they did it for brand reasons. Classic theme is distinctly "old" and they probably wanted to get rid of that conception.
