98.css – A design system for building faithful recreations of old UIs

This is really cool, the only thing I see is the font rendering looks choppy. An antialiasing issue I think, but it looks worse than some non-antialiazed fonts (like the EGA 8x14 pixels font) too

To be very pedantic: also the dropdown menu, when opened, looks very different than the original 98 style

Chrome on Windows 10 here. The font rendering looks very similar (if not identical) to what I remember it in Win98 -- no antialiasing, 1px thick, very easy to spot the pixels on curved strokes, very easy to spot the pixels on bold style, etc.

The style looks incredible accurate to what I remember, although there are some differences:

- The opened dropdown menu, as my parent suggested.

- I don't remember textareas being resizable.

- I remember stepped sliders had little marks indicating where each step is. Only continuous sliders (e.g., the one in the Windows volume control) had no marks.

- The tabs don't look like as I remember from Win95/98, these ones look more like Win 3.1. Too much padding, the border is too thick, and the border radius is too big.

- In tables, the headers looked like buttons because they were actually buttons (you could press them to sort the table). However, here they are not clickable.
