A CSS framework for recreating Windows 7 UI
- sanjeetsuhag 2y agoThe "Glass frame & color" section brings Firefox to a crawl on my desktop. Chrome seems to handle it better.

- sexy_seedbox 2y agoLove it, this is so much better than that FluentUI or whatever new Google Chrome UI is trying to do with their huge padding.

- vintagedave 2y agoThis is beautiful. I saw the note the author did it to learn some tech skills -- kudos both for that kind of project and for sharing it. I have a single suggestion: _Centering._ Text is not vertically centered in buttons, nor against checkboxes or radio buttons, nor the window title bar (I think?) or tabs or... In each, it's a couple of pixels too high. Similarly the +/- symbols aren't centered in the treeview squares. This is _not_ easy to solve: https://tonsky.me/blog/centering/ https://tonsky.me/blog/centering/ but would move the stylesheet to being a truly impressive mimic of Windows 7.
