I love this kind of projects!

We are still missing a Vista.css: the most beautiful Windows ever made.

[girvo → FeatureIncomple]

I loved Vista. I went from Win 2k directly to it, on hardware that could actually run it well. And it was great! Beautiful looking for sure, ran well for me, had some nice additions over 2000 and XP.

Isn't Vista and 7 almost completely identical visually?

[FeatureIncomple → djxfade]

They're kinda similar, indeed.

But Vista has some differences in color and details that make it more beautiful IMHO.

[ziftface → FeatureIncomple]

Oh I thought you were saying that ironically, but you know what, I can see it.

[resynth1943 → djxfade]

Well, Vista has a lot more blue in it. Plus it has that sweet dark black taskbar.

The only thing worrying me is that none of this seems to be scoped, so it'll probably clash with other external libraries using the same class names. Am I understanding this correctly?

Looks like these templates exist for a variety of OS's now. It would be neat if websites automatically picked the one to apply based on your underlying machine.

Oh, wait, that would be native controls.

If it used Segoe UI instead of Arial, it would be perfect!

[khangnd → theandrewbailey]

The font used in the components is Segoe UI.

[theandrewbailey → khangnd]

Title bars and window text is in Arial. (Like the dialog box example at the top of the page.) It should all be Segoe UI.

[khangnd → theandrewbailey]

Good spot, lemme update. Thanks.

[CommanderData]

Is there a equivalent CSS for Mac?

[ch_sm → CommanderData]

This one gets kind of close: http://photonkit.com

That's impressive, nice one!

I think a cool addition would be to include the Aero theme cursors.

[khangnd → skibz]

Hey, that's a cool yet tough suggestion, but we'll see :)

[ygra → skibz]

And the progress bar animation.

[khangnd → ygra]

Done.
