Not Apple fans though. They can't wait to use their new Vista!

Aqua, an OS X theme from before you were born

I thought it couldn’t get better when System 7 had color support. It was such a revolution. Then Aqua came along and everything changed. Liquid Glass looks pretty nice to me but I’m mostly just glad we’re getting dimension back. Material flat UI is a stain on the world.

I think there was some sort of color support prior to System 7.

System 6 includes QuickerGraf (originally QuickerDraw), system software used to accelerate the drawing of color images on the Macintosh II.

Hmm. Apparently System 4 had color support, which is earlier than I expected.

...it wasn't until two years later in 1987 that Apple introduced color with the release of the System 4 & the Macintosh II.

Here's a photo of a IIcx with a color display:

They’re going for X with L-aqua-d Glass, but look at 7, so brutalist chill

This was 4, my bad, both tho

I share the same feeling. The flat lifeless interfaces need to go.

It was a nice theme IMO

It’s SO cool!

Get the fuck outta here with that! Any red blooded microphile knows XP was PEAK windows experience. The lower opacity of windows in Vista was a bright spot in an otherwise disgusting experience.

XP was “the Linux” of Windows releases… 🤘
