> The generous use of colors in OS/2 made it look like a kindergarten scrapbook Are we still talking about OS/2 2.x? I somehow remember it to be more "somber", and a very quick search seems to confirm that, though it's not conclusive. https://www.classic-computers.org.nz/blog/images/2009-10-3-os2.2-screen.jpg https://www.classic-computers.org.nz/blog/images/2009-10-3-o...

The scheme, yes. But, even on that screenshot, an active window has two separate accent colors (title bar and the frame). Even that’s too much.

  Fair, Windows was more subtle there. Maybe in other regards and overall as well, it's hard to do just from memory.
