I really want to make one of my websites use this.. I just can't think of one that would fit.

Also shout out XFCE-winxp-tc, which makes your Linux look like Windows XP. Lots of people know about Chicago95, but this project is excellent for that 2004 vibe

man, it's the internet. you don't need a fit. you just need to want to.

My gripe has always been that none of these xfce/gtk/etc. themes are ever actually pixel-perfect, even when they claim to be. Not sure if there is a legal concern there or not.

More than legal concerns is that theming engines on each DE can be a bit limiting trying to do such things. i.e. for KDE Plasma you'd need to do a fair amount of SVG trickery to reach 100% accuracy respect of the originals.

Plus the icons thing - they're not as easy as people might think.

But this xfce-winxp-tc seems to be really, really close to the original. In those first two screenshots I thought it was just screenshots of the original WinXP.

Also the CSS framework subject of this thread looks really identical to the widgets and stuff of Win98.

But if you want true 100% pixel-perfect windows 98/xp/whatever... Just use them.
