Is there a reason why it looks like Temu's Windows XP? Copyright concerns I guess?

  Because it's obviously vibe coded (look at the source code).

  Not sure why they downvoted you because you have a point - icons are not the same as Windows XP's, wallpaper flat color reminds me more of Win 95/98 and the taskbar design has some details that do not match precisely with Windows XP's. I'd also bet it's due to copyright concerns

    Probably cos it's vibe coded? The main CSS comes from XP.css [0], but the AI additions [1] have definitely messed it up in some way. The whole thing is pure JS which is nice but the comments give a good impression isn't not hand written IMO [2] [0]: https://github.com/botoxparty/XP.css/ https://github.com/botoxparty/XP.css/ [1]: https://explorer.samismith.com/css/base.css https://explorer.samismith.com/css/base.css [2]: https://explorer.samismith.com/js/explorer.js https://explorer.samismith.com/js/explorer.js

  Ask LLM to make a 98/XP styled website and you will discover the reason.
