I had a very similar homepage that is still up! I love the desktop in a webpage aesthetic. http://toxiccode.com/

In Brave in os X, "about" has vertically overlapping lines with the end of lines having the last few characters not visible.
The header looks exactly like a bandicam watermark... which does capture a certain aesthetic
I believe I was going for the Bluecurve look, which was the default GTK theme for Redhat 8. The first linux distro I ever installed.

I buy'd RedHat 9, and i walked home with that big package under my arm knowing that nobody knows what that is..a Unix a Operationsystem!! I felt like the a hero, everything was fine until i realized that i had a win-modem...
Yes! What an experience. My dad brought me to circuit city somewhere near San Mateo to buy red hat 8. I remember holding the shrink wrapped box and thinking about how cool it was. I don’t think I figured out how to get internet access working for a month. I’m glad you’re still sticking with it!
Nifty, I like it.
