I really enjoyed Motif and the general flat clean look that came with eg TWM and co. I do have a soft spot for the candy Mac styles, and win2k is still my favorite windows release

Ooh, nice! This very much appeals to the historian and former GUI developer in me.

Update: The Pixel Perfect checkbox makes a noticeable difference in appearance. I presume this is because older systems were developed before the advent of anti-aliasing, and were designed pixel by pixel.

So interesting to see the contrast between OSX and Windows in 2001.

No wonder OSX felt like the future.

I miss the future.

  • For me the 2001 OSX looks wishy washy and does not have a professional look.

    • Conversely, I want those old candy Aqua buttons back. They were kitschy, but I loved them.

      I'd say the same for the scrollbars, but these days I'd settle for reverting to them being visible at all times.
