00's screenshots look like they are unironically styled as GUIs from anime of that time.
Or is it vice-versa?

I remember wasting away hours of my middle school years ricing my XP desktop and posting my results on forums all the time... my autism died down when Windows 7 came out. I can't help but wonder who would I be if instead had started learning programming then or gotten a more respectable social life.

Anyway, I feel like Lifehacker's flickr desktop thread is a neat place to look at old desktop screenshots, they go all the way back to 2005.

There are many groups like this one on flickr. But for some reason, images wouldn't get uploaded at full resolution when you uploaded there. I think you needed a PRO account for that. Here's one I found that's actually on its original resolution.

It sucks that I didn't have a computer of my own earlier than like 2011, then I would have likely have lots more of this kinda stuff archived.

Do you have autism?

what happened to this overbloated comfyness, g?
I remember firing my win95 and loving that myriad of icons, messenger, and my two (2) music players.

Nowadays everything i see is that ultraminimalist three-color look.

Not that im complaining, I like both. But what the fuck happened?

why do these desktops look effortlessly good, but have their own flaws
but modern ui design is flawless, but looks like garbage
do you know what I mean?

its like they are in a competition for perfection now

No. It's terrible

I agree it's overall terrible, but within designs they have much more aim towards perfection.
