i am so sick of flat design. i need to put gradients and bevels on things more. i will be the change i want to see in the web

@mavica_again I'd love to see a resurgence of the Win16 Turbo Pascal or Delphi (especially Win16 apps on Windows 95) aesthetic

I love these chonky buttons (especially when you click them: the icon stays put but the shadow "moves" to compensate), the window texture, and how easy it is to recognize a checkbox vs radio button:

@lafp OHHHH yeah i loved the dynamic shadows on icons!!!

and when bit depth on computer screens increased and some windows like these adopted a marbled texture background!!

@mavica_again Por algum motivo, programas feitos com o Delphi 1.0 (Win16) desenham alguns elementos de forma diferente quando rodados no Windows 95, e eu gosto demais desse visual!

Por exemplo, aqui um pedacinho do programa Arquive (Editora Europa), onde se consegue ver bem os TBitBtn e o restante da interface: m.youtube.com/watch?v=ERgUvmJi

(O Chester mencionado no easter egg é o mesmo das comunidades de retrocomputação do Brasil, aliás!)
