This one is pretty good, but it has one common flaw that other implementations have: lots of empty space between controls. Win95/98 was very efficient in this area. Too much empty space wastes the space.

Totally agree and I think the root cause are today's larger screen sizes, less constraints. Win95 was designed at a time when 800x600 and 1024x768 have been the standards to work with.

Looks terrible on my machine. Something wrong with the font. And button press animation is too slow and annoying.
