Actually the 90's web looked so, so fucking awful, and yes we all knew it did, it was what our connections and limited RAM could do at the time, also the 90's were not a decade of taste in general.
Look, our fucking computers had this as a possible colour scheme in the 90's. And no, this wasn't some accessibility thing (there were themes designed for that, they didn't give many fucks about accessibility but it wasn't like they gave THAT few fucks). This theme really was created as an aesthetic choice.
@Elizafox it looks fucking awesome

@wolf480pl @Elizafox good old times! also picking out the worst joke theme from win 3.x is bullshit. idk why software has to be so fucking serious today and why people think being serious without need is good 🤷♀️
@bonifartius @wolf480pl I don't mind silliness but Hot Dog Stand is plain ugly lmao
@Elizafox @wolf480pl of course it is, that's the point! :D
@Elizafox @bonifartius IMO it's not ugly. It may be poor taste, but that's a matter of taste. To a child or a medieval adult, it'd look beautiful.
@wolf480pl @Elizafox i certainly had it active a few hours as kid :)
@wolf480pl @Elizafox also, i love boxy 90s ui very much. it's much more usable than the flat hell we are in with everyone replicating material design.
