I thought my dream came true, but...
There's one thing he isn't showing - the infamous GTK's "Cancel-OK" message box combination. As much as I respect Lunduke's work, it's GTK-based. And my Linux environment is completely 95% Qt5 (it'll be 100% if I figure out how to migrate to Qt-based browser).
The main advantage of OS/2 or Win9x-like UI is its speed and consistency. And it soesn't allocate/read/render 9 PNG files per element (like button). Works using Line()s and FillRect()s. If modern KDE could do that, I'd have no complains...
- lewispollard 5y agoI know it doesn't do it efficiently, but there are a whole bunch of plasma themes, window decorations, cursor sets and so on that emulate win 95/98/xp (and even vista) in KDE Plasma, and you can install them right from the system settings.
- IYasha 5y agoThanks! I tried. But at that time there were lots of inconsistencies. I tried going full-95, but couldn't find exact controls. And in most themes there were bitmap or vector images to mimic control appearance. It's nothing like disabling effects on Win7 brings back natively-drawn imageless UI. Generally, I tried even making my own theme, but it looked odd. ) Especially when the start menu ignored all the theme colors and lived on its own. I've heard they've fixed it in newer Plasma releases though.
