#52Earlier quoted context omitted.
Considering non-formatted HTML files are supposed to be documents, not windows, no? Adding to this: without any specification, the browser should, and does, use the operating system's native controls when rendering controls such as .
Not anymore for chrome & edge https://blog.chromium.org/2020/03/updates-to-form-controls-a... All part of Google's master plan to commoditize desktop OSs. Everyone outside the US already uses Android, soon your computer will be a Chrome box instead of a Windows/Mac/Linux box. First they did the browser title bar & tab bar integration/styling & removed the normal OS title bar, then they made Chrome OS, now they are re…
I think you’re a little mistaken — it’s been a while since I’ve used Chromium on GTK, but on Mac and Windows it has never really used native widgets/controls. This change is good because it goes from something that looks straight out of the late 90s no matter what your computer’s OS is, to something that _probably_ looks a _little_ more like whatever your OS looks like.

#53that's really gorgeous. I find windows 95 aesthetics a master piece. I'm not gonna lie, I thought about windows 95 when I was creating FOS, my Fake Operational System "framework". I'm thinking about refactoring it and I'll may incorporate windows color scheme to it. Here's the link if you wanna see what I am talking about. https://github.com/victorqribeiro/fos

#57ouch, open this in Safari and highlight some text, then unhighlight the text. It's literally barely readable, maybe some bugs to fix there, but it looks great in Chrome. Cool idea!

#59Are 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.
I've noticed there are a couple of these now so I threw a quick list up on Github: https://github.com/matt-auckland/retro-css
