#2Oh yes. I can't wait to think of a product to build using this design system.

#3I'm using this next time I'm building something from scratch. Thanks.

#4Certainly evokes a lot of nostalgia. The tactile feel of 3D buttons can be mesmerizing at times, a lot of experience has been lost in the race to flat, in addition to lowered affordability of modern UIs.
One bug: Firefox on Linux introduces an extra dotted rectangle on focused buttons (so they end up with two oddly overlapping focus indicators)

I’m observing this extra outline on Firefox Nightly on Windows. I can’t discern what’s making it, and suspect it may be a Firefox bug, somehow.

#6This is fantastic. I looked for a CSS library like this some years ago and couldn’t find one. I didn’t have the courage to try to make it myself.

#7Are there similar retro-UI systems for other older interfaces? While I don't have that much nostalgia for Win98 myself, I could see how it could be cute to have similar systems for classic (System 6-7) Mac, Amiga, etc. I've seen websites that try to go for these looks, but I think they were manually done.

#8This is great, I would love to be able to use this. Win98 always felt like a highpoint in easy to UI design.
I am not a CSS ninja, how easy would it be to make this responsive? The example do not appear to be responsive.

#10Isn't it a bit ridiculous that we need to do this in the first place? Shouldn't clear 3D controls on a neutral gray background be the default user-agent appearance, with no need for custom CSS of any sort?
