I made something similar as well (that includes both 3.11, 95, 2000, XP, CDE and Mac OS 9, and also all the default color schemes of those): https://nielssp.git

I made something similar as well (that includes both 3.11, 95, 2000, XP, CDE and Mac OS 9, and also all the default color schemes of those): https://nielssp.github.io/classic-stylesheets/?theme=win9x&skin=98 https://nielssp.github.io/classic-stylesheets/?theme=win9x&s... My focus was not so much on pixel perfect, but instead on creating something that would also work and look aesthetically pleasing on modern systems, like with higher DPI monitors and such. So one of the the things I did was to recreate all the icons and symbols in SVG. I tried posting it as a Show HN when I added XP and Mac OS 9, but it didn't get much attention. Maybe the title of the project isn't as catchy.

This is amazing, thanks for this! I made a simple app using 98.css because that was the most feature-filled retro CSS library I could find. Going to try and use your 3.1 schemes :)

Love it; though the Windows 2000 theme seems a bit off (headings to heavy/bold). Windows 2000 was the pinnacle of UI design IMO.

Whoa. Insanely cool. Outstanding quality and theming, such a simple implementation. Only thing I'd want to see is theming for data tables, maybe even an interactive table that behaves like the lists and grids.

  I’ve always had a soft spot for the older Mac OS design, and I really love this implementation! I spent sooooo much time in windows and Linux doing various things to try and get that feel back
