This is awesome that it was so therapeutic to you! I have several such personal projects that I occasionally work on for similar reasons, moreover to experience the joy of pure programming as opposed to the daily BS I deal with.
One critique (more of a suggested improvement) - the dropdown boxes don’t look/behave as they did in Win 98. They actually render as native select tags on my browser when focused and it kind of breaks the immersion. I’m pretty sure implementing this to simulate the 98 version would be a bit difficult and would involve some JavaScript (which I know you want to avoid), but it may be a neat challenge to tinker with.
- jacob019 4y agoSounds like you want that commit access.
- ctxc 4y agoCan you elaborate, what's it supposed to behave like?
- lelandfe 4y agoAre you sure you need elaboration? They're rendering natively when opened: https://i.imgur.com/1Q7KjB0.png https://i.imgur.com/1Q7KjB0.png Windows 98 dropdowns look like e.g.: https://imgur.com/rVQhAIq https://imgur.com/rVQhAIq
- asadlionpk 4y agoAlthough I agree that it breaks immersion but using JS would certainly make this too complicated and probably not worth it, considering it will be buggy for sure.
