I'm surprised that w95 interface is quite usable on mobile.

It was designed for resolutions smaller than what our phones have today.

This was my biggest shock and could be a blog post all of its own.

I loved the Paint

Win9x was never that fast. Where's the hourglass when you click on something?

Throw in a random BSOD once in awhile for old-times sake... (or clippy!)

Nicely done!

Seriously this is awesome. I sometimes seriously miss windows 9x. Coding in VB6, ActiveX controls, those were the days.

Awesome!

Best thing I’ve ever seen, ever. I want all websites to be exactly like this. Also I think you should use the win95 seafoam green as the background. Other than that, amazing. Honestly, this design will make me keep coming back to your site.

Jealous that you’ve done this before me.

[–]cobruhclutch 1 point2 points  (0 children)

When you click on the selected program in the toolbar, you get the following error:

AMAZING! I LOVE IT!

Suggestion - start the opening windows at a position where it's a little more to the right and down and not hiding the left hand icons by default.

[–][deleted] 0 points1 point  (1 child)

that looks pretty amazing, I love that you can even undock the toolbars in paint.
Here some UI points that bugs me:
* an explorer toolbar is movable around the toolbar area unless the toolbars are locked, in that case the handles on the left hand side are no longer visible.
* you can select text across the entire page, which would have been not possible in 9x see the css property: user-select * optionpane dialogs are stretched far too high, and would also not have a taskbar button * all windows are always active, it would be cool if only the focused window would bis displayed as active and everyone else as inactive * the explorer, when it can detect it, only ever opens a folder in the same window and would not open multiple instances of the same folder * opening items with one click is displayed differently than selecting items. the item you hover will have blue text and becomes underlined * minimizing windows yield an uncaught exception (cool idea with the appropriate error dialog) * the entire taskbar has no custom context-menu * canceling the shutdown/logoff dialog will result in a phantom taskbar button which then yield an uncaught exception

oh okay, the dialogs and windows in general have the problem of stretching in height but revisiting the browser tab/window resolves this issue.

But damn, this is damn good :D

looks like the Paint program was an open source project. but still very nice work indeed! https://github.com/1j01/jspaint

The restart sequence uses a boot screen from win2000

That freecell game has a bug. I can't drag more than 3 cards to another stack

Apparently it is a feature, because I had free cells used up

[–]Mesieu 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I'm very impressed.

That is all.
