windows 95 looked the way it did, not because the people making it thought it was the optimal look, but due to hardware limitations.
A designer in 1995 seeing you waste a modern 4k LCD monitor’s potential to display blurry low res 256 color icons? They would think you are clinically insane.

- mmcgaha 5y agoWindows 95 was great not because of the icons, colors, or anything like that. It was great because the UI was consistent and intuitive. There were a few weird things in there like the briefcase but for the most part it was just enough UI and software to be really effective without getting in the way.
