For all applications that support theming you can ask an agent "make this look like windows 98"

don't quite understand how typing it into a popup instead of an agent makes it revolutionary

News to me, I guess. I have never seen anything like these demos. Most themes in software I use change colors or rearrange existing UI elements rather than create kanban boards and floating interactive cows where they did not exist before.

  • Don’t get me wrong, I think having much more customizability now that maintaining complex configurations is easier is absolutely the direction we should be headed in. I don’t think floating cows are going to be the ultimate goal, but it is a step in that direction.

    But this sort of theming specifically is something that was experimented with a couple decades ago and given up because people wanted simplicity and consistency instead. It’ll be exciting if LLMs reverse the trend.
