#7Love it, this is so much better than that FluentUI or whatever new Google Chrome UI is trying to do with their huge padding.

#10This 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/ but would move the stylesheet to being a truly impressive mimic of Windows 7.
