A CSS framework for recreating Windows 7 UI (khang-nd.github.io)

The "Glass frame & color" section brings Firefox to a crawl on my desktop. Chrome seems to handle it better.

I have never wished Windows used CSS for theming so much...

Amazing. So much nostalgia. Love the frosted glass/Windows Aero stuff.

I used this in a newtab extension that I created! https://chromewebstore.google.com/detail/xp-newtab/ncfmlogae...

Love it, this is so much better than that FluentUI or whatever new Google Chrome UI is trying to do with their huge padding.

This is beautiful. I saw the note the author did it to learn some tech skills -- kudos both for that kind of project and for sharing it.

I have a single suggestion: _Centering._

Text is not vertically centered in buttons, nor against checkboxes or radio buttons, nor the window title bar (I think?) or tabs or... In each, it's a couple of pixels too high. Similarly the +/- symbols aren't centered in the treeview squares. This is _not_ easy to solve: https://tonsky.me/blog/centering/ but would move the stylesheet to being a truly impressive mimic of Windows 7.

Well done, I seriously thought that window in the "Intro" section was a screenshot.
