Did you look into Neumorphism?

It’s a recent thing, but in a way it is a callback to making it more obvious what is interactible and not.

For a while, quite recently, it seemed to be catching on. But then it didn’t really catch on like.

But I think SerenityOS with a Neumorphism style would be a really interesting experiment.

Neumorphism is interesting, but as far away from Windows 95 style as can be.

It's tactile, yes, but low density, low contrast, borders are non existent, colours are used to create intense gradient background palettes, instead of using them to increase readability and usability.

Neumorphism has all the drawbacks of modern flat design, with none of the benefits of old UI design studies. But it looks cool.

The Windows 95/98/2000 interfaces are imo kind of just the low-res version of Neumorphism.

Which I like.

I do not like that at all. It looks like the stuff I designed when I just started university.
