WinObjC VS Platinum9

Ok, I'm very much paraphrasing from "shit I read on Wikipedia", but WinObjC does exist and it did use parts of GNUStep: https://github.com/Microsoft/WinObjC/issues/116

I was working on emulating apps directly [1] by translating API calls from iOS to Windows APIs using WinObjC [2]. Unfortunately, WinObjC got abandoned and didn't even contain as many APIs as I thought, so the result cannot emulate complex apps. But it was fun.

It's funny when you look at the contribution graph and see that most of the activity happened in the typical tenure length at tech companies (1-2 years)

There's also https://github.com/Microsoft/WinObjC/ that I've heard of but never looked into

Icon theme from Platinum9

Funnily enough I was playing with a couple of old PowerMac G4s a couple of weeks ago (actually wiping them for disposal - though I've since decided to keep at least one!)

I realised very quickly that I'd forgotten how good the OS9 interface is, and how well it stands up against today's offerings. Trying out a lookalike them on Linux [1] is definitely on my todo list:

In lxappearance, I'm trying to change the icons to the ones here https://github.com/grassmunk/Platinum9
