Windows 95 theme WIP

Posted 1 year, 1 month ago by circlejourney

this theme is turning out to have a lot of moving parts (literally). It still resizes terribly for mobile and idk how well I can make it resize ultimately lmao. A bit of user testing—do any parts feel weird to interact with? And do I telegraph the interactivity well enough?

this is so cool!!! i love all the interactive elements. im on mobile so it is a little wonky rn but coding is so hard so this is so impressive as is!!!! :D

Highlanderro

woah! it's amazing so far

Highlanderro

love that you can collapse/open windows

it scared me the first time I accidentally did it but I think it's really clever

also the clickable images opening in paint? SUCH A COOL IDEA

the tabs on the start bar kinda clip out on mobile maybe the way to fix it is making this a more minimal template? less is more as they say

circlejourney

Yeah, good thinking! I may make the task bar scroll or wrap like it does on some Windows OSes. Thanks for the thoughts and feedback!

Tenshilove

love it!

circlejourney

I'm glad, thank you! 💙

It does feel a little cramped on mobile, but none of the windows overlap so it does work too. I think it's great! It's cute and the buttons in the toolbar work amd it's definitely clear that you can actually use them.

I can make another comment later tonight when I can see it on my laptop :O

circlejourney

Oh yeah, I really need to work on the mobile responsiveness lmao. Have been thinking about how I'd do it without wrecking the sizing.

dogstarlite

(thank u for reminding me to check this again djfghdfjkg)

Well, it works great on my laptop at least! Suuuch a charming theme, too. Best of luck figuring out the mobile version!!!!

circlejourney

So glad! The mobile version is gonna be such a pain to figure out lmao, I need to find a way to rearrange the elements without breaking the sizing system I used for the windows.

Oh yeah I confused myself with the start menu a few times too, I tried a dropdown, which makes the menu disappear when you click outside, but that means sacrificing the fun toggling button effect. Thanks for the feedback, I'm gonna see if I can make the menu work!
