One brave GUI toolkit continues to use the Windows 95 look. Personally I really like that look (or design language, as we're apparently meant to say these days). Clean, high-contrast, and it's clear which widgets are clickable. It has the added bonus that its drawing operations can easily be hard-coded for excellent performance.

  The Serenity Operating System 🐞

  

Strange nobody mentioned Serenity yet?

> SerenityOS is a love letter to '90s user interfaces with a custom Unix-like core. It flatters with sincerity by stealing beautiful ideas from various other systems.

> Roughly speaking, the goal is a marriage between the aesthetic of late-1990s productivity software and the power-user accessibility of late-2000s *nix. This is a system by us, for us, based on the things we like.
