Impressie that this is pure CSS with no JavaScript. The border and box-shadow tricks to recreate the beveled Win98 look are really well done!

Seeing this makes me unreasonably happy. Funny how nostalgia is

Funny how nostalgia differs for different people. I hated all that so much at the time that I installed linux (RH 7.x) from a magazine cd and learned to program in C & perl.

That multirows tab UI thing was an utter abomination against usability, intelligence, good sense, decency, justice and obviously any and all aesthetics. Why bring it back? To fix it maybe?

Nitpick: tabs in the multirow tabs example do not change position randomly as they should when clicked

I really want to make one of my websites use this.. I just can't think of one that would fit. Also shout out XFCE-winxp-tc, which makes your Linux look like Windows XP. Lots of people know about Chicago95, but this project is excellent for that 2004 vibe [0] https://github.com/rozniak/xfce-winxp-tc

man, it's the internet. you don't need a fit. you just need to want to.

Windows XP and MacOS System 7 had pretty good looking GUIs. Since then, modern keyboard-and-mouse UIs have not really improved that much; it's mostly been just evolving and polishing styling. All the real innovation has been on touchscreen devices.
