Window decoration button design peaked here
>>

Nah prefer Windows 10's buttons.

>>108875780

Both are shit. Windows is shit.

windows 98 GUI was peak, XP offered god-tier stability but the GUI was shit by comparison and it only went downhill from there

sometimes i have to remind myself that everyone on this fucking site is under 30 years old

It was cute, designed for smol screens.
You have no taste, so should have no say in these matters.
>>108876429
Older windows were too much of 2000's shitty palette. Fucking gray, blue, brown, other gray, other blue. It was extremely boring and unpleasant to see it. WinXP literally fixed most of that.

>>108876206
you baby ducky luddite! windows 7 is secure and I am scared of 1s and 0s

Windows 7 > 10 > 2000 that's my list.

Its garbage. Windows classic is perfection.

Thank God Xfce & Mate have themes like that
>>
>>108876665
none of those were even good though
I use GNOME btw
>>
>>108876640
I also made an olive green colored classic windows theme back in the day and sometimes used that, too.
>>
>>108878167
I only found the default blue (not royale) XP theme so far
>>
>>108875780
Notice how the close button is bigger than the others, it is implied that the most useful action you can do on a window is close it
>>
>>108875780
Truth. Before that they are ugly. After that they are too corporate. Windows 11 ones is a skinwalker
>>
>>108875790
10 & 11 are a fucking disgrace. The buttons look worse than Windows 95.

The Fischer-Price critics were right, XP was ugly and 7 wasn't much better. Microsoft nailed it 30 years ago by copying others and everything since has been a disaster.

This.
Vista (Aero) and Win9x design were absolute peak.

I really like this window decoration whatever it is. Is it stolen from some other os like qnx or amiga? What is it? What's the story behind it?

I still use this one from time to time on IceWM, it's called microGUI there, no idea about the original name
>>
>>108881623
thanks, anon. the icewm doesn't look quite right to me, but it's something I guess. I found some info on sawfish wm fandom wiki. I wonder how good is this sawfish wm

>>108881673
>doesn't look quite right to me
Nothing looks perfect there, you get used to it
Thanks for sharing the link, now I'm curious about it too, might try it later
>>
>>108881548
Looks like Common Desktop Environment (CDE)

that won't help me, I use kwin_x11 with lxqt
I guess making a Kvantum theme for qt apps wouldn't be hard, but window decorations are another matter
p.s. aurorae is garbage of the highest order

you joke but that's pretty much what Steve Jobs said when he was presenting it

Kinda, it's based on this concept art. QNX was developing a system for Amiga but they ditched it for Linux

thanks, anon. this is so cool. that era(late 90s/early 00s) of ui design had something art deco about it
>>
>>108876179
its worse because you need to prevent mouse from going to the edge (when maximized) to close as opposed to 7 aero which is less tedious
