Geocities Bootstrap Theme • Hacker News Board

I especially liked what you have done to the form elements. Even more so as that was completely impossible back then. There was no CSS and form elements didn't allow much styling via attributes either. Probably because they were mostly implemented as native controls which in turn don't offer that many styling options.

Many people I know have never experienced the beauty and plethora of colors the web once was crafted from, finally I can share! Thanks for bringing back varied palettes and animations!

Not ugly enough. You need to make the white space less uniform, and the line-heights less generous.

Just kidding, this is terrible. Great work!

The missing images icon is a fantastic touch, it's only missing an annoying mouse cursor effect (I'm guilty of using them).

This bought a tear to my eyes, right before the burning, but it's very nice.

Also, did I see rounded corners and the lack of nested tables?

Wow - this is spot-on! I most definitely built a few of these in my day and even used the same "user construction" .gif. Great trip down memory lane. Thanks for reminding us what not to do. ;)
