Which is hilarious when you consider that those "old-style" applications had a lot finer-grained control over their theming in Windows95-XP.

Just another example of software developers doing what they do best these days: reinventing the wheel, but worse.

It's strange how "dark/light mode" was such an innovative/killer feature, when the same feature was available decades ago.

Like iOS gaining the revolutionary feature of displaying up to two(!) apps side-by-side simultaneously.

I also noticed that received Windows versions don't even have the option of changing the system font anymore. Even changing the font size is only possible in a tightly restricted range and is framed as an accessibility feature, not a customisation.

Sometimes it feels like customisation is removed so you can have more things available that can be announced (or sold) as "features"...
