But Word 1.0 even has 3d GUI elements. They must have had impressive computers back then.

It would update this system DLL and make the UI of the entire system look more 3D. https://external-content.duckduckgo.com/iu/?u=https%3A%2F%2Fwww.betaarchive.com%2Fimageupload%2F2017-01%2F1484489955.th.90198.png&f=1&nofb=1&ipt=d92d4f4d30765b52214c9ae17f6923ece03fb54d17323fe86fea5ab66c0fd328 https://external-content.duckduckgo.com/iu/?u=https%3A%2F%2F...
- fredoralive 2mo agoI'm pretty sure it was an opt-in thing for individual programs, if an app didn't intentionally use it they kept the old look. I've always thought that it's a bit of an undocumented and slightly forgotten bit of Windows 3.1, most things on the internet only show the flat style. I guess people doing retro things often only mess around a bit with the base OS, and don't really install things like Office 4.x on top of it.
