[–] ezchili@iusearchlinux.fyi -1 points 2 years ago* (2 children) It looks a lot like win95. I don't think anything you brought up is relevant permalink fedilink source parent hideshow 4 child comments replies: [–] DmMacniel@feddit.de 3 points 2 years ago* (last edited 2 years ago) It literally does not. It has half yellow titlebars whereas win 95 has full titlebars with a solid blue colour (98+ had a gradient). The Tracker was in the top right corner and didn't extend it's height to the bottom. The Taskbar on the other hand was at the bottom corner and extended from left to right. Those two differences are already enough to make BeOS NOT look anything alike windows 95. https://cdn-learn.adafruit.com/guides/images/000/002/639/medium800/VirtualBox_BeOS_06_08_2019_13_06_26.jpg https://upload.wikimedia.org/wikipedia/en/e/eb/Windows_95_at_first_run.png permalink fedilink source parent [–] AnUnusualRelic@lemmy.world 1 point 2 years ago It's not the same colour!
