ClassicKit – A collection of UI components for iOS influenced by Windows 95
Reverting to the classic Win9x/2000 style is what I do still immediately when using a Windows computer.<p>As opposed to the horrible flat/white/modern design that govers Windows 10 and the web, it makes using the UI <i>easier</i>: Elements have clear boundaries; it is immediately obvious what role an UI component has (link? label? button? text field?); there is very little ambiguity; typography is simple and inobstrusive.<p>The Luna and Aero styles were actually not much worse than the classic Windows style but interesting and usable evolutions of it as they retained the properties listed above.<p>I am not entirely sure whether this perception stems from the fact that the classic style is objectively "better" suited for a GUI or from the fact that the Windows UIs were so predominant in the PC market at the time and left a lasting impression on people's understanding of what a GUI is/was. Perhaps it goes both ways.
