> 7.css is a CSS framework for building interface components that look like Windows 7. It is built on top of the GUI backbone of XP.css, which is an extension of 98.css.
Great work and idea! How can I use it without having tailwindcss changing all css?

The checkboxes doesn’t look quite right on iOS

I wonder if this can be integrated with Electron and Tauri to provide native-looking user interfaces.
Combined with a theme-to-CSS convertor, imagine an Electron app looking like a Windows app on Windows, and a GTK app on Linux, while following the colours and styles of the custom theme the user has selected in their OS.

The reason I started hram.dev was so I could have a native platform to port 90s.dev to. I love the idea of having native host for retro GUIs. But I am not a huge fan of html/css/js combo. It feels tacked on because it is. I came up with a relatively novel and I think truly innovative GUI methodology in 90s.dev that I did not know how to explain so I haven't truly shared with people how exciting it potentially is. Tomorrow I plan to put up a github-sponsors link with a few different projects, where for each $50 that I receive for a given project, I will work two hours on that project. This way the community can help sponsor me turning these things into realities.

Super cool. Anyone know if a similar library exists for Aqua?

This is awesome. I love that the readme contains pictures of everything.

Ah yes the days of "aero ui". Sad to hear Apple designers are taking cues from _old_ windows designs now.

These visual elements have to be protected by intellectual property somehow. Has Microsoft ever legally persecuted these types of projects before? Or projects built upon such libraries?
I'd be wary to build on top of these clones only to receive a cease and desist, but that's a fear of mine, I don't know if it's founded.

It can be more difficult to claim copyright over shapes and patterns than you think.

I have a gallery of cease and desist orders. I would love to add MSFT to the list.
Just an absolutely lovely line of text.
