it gets a lot of hate but it was a good version honestly

alright folks, here's the win95 style as a userscript (domain applied to cybre.space only for now, sorry -- feel free to modify the userstyle to try it on your instance but YMMV)
https://userstyles.org/styles/147988/cybre-space-windows-95
i'm sure there's stuff i missed but it's at least 90% complete for the main app i think
oh, and...
if you're not on windows, you're going to be missing a font. there's not really anything i can do about that at the moment.
@chr Technically you could embed it as base64 but then the userstyle would be super huge
@chr You could add
-webkit-font-smoothing: none;
to disable the anti-aliasing on text for a maximum 90s effect
@chr (I'm currently on Wikipedia + w/ my cybre.space acct w/ the userstyle trying to see which macOS font would work as a substitute for "MS Sans Serif")
@Eramdam the key to the aesthetic is the lack of antialiasing, which particular font it is doesn't matter quite as much beyond that
@chr True, but still, if you wanna provide a macOS fallback I suggest Monaco (or Menlo but it's fixed-width so that might not be what you want) https://octodon.social/media/so696YpzStHscHGZW8w
@chr (also the userstyle doesn't change the background color of column so when they're empty they're still dark ;p )
@Eramdam i knew it missed something :P
@chr lmk if you want me to try on my empty account on cybre haha
@Eramdam fuck, yeah that would be pretty bad. might do it tho
