The thing is, back then, it worked, because every app looked completely different from each other, and so it was a clusterfuck anyway :-D

Hmm… my memory may not be the best but apart from WinAmp almost every other app kinda stuck to the OS? ;o

So, same thing as today then?

Yes, except it was much more colorful and vibrant. We had pixel art instead of the the deliberately-monochromatic committee-directed stick-figure horrors of today.

Correct, nowadays it's accidental and boring inconsistencies, because they're all trying to be more minimal than the other app.
