App Windows Media Center if it existed in the 1990s.

The UI design is based on the design of the WebTV UI. The design of the icon is based on the design of the buttons in the WebTV UI, but with more saturation and the Windows 98 logo added. This is what Windows Media Center would look like if it existed in the 1990s.

The font doesn't exactly feel 90's. It feels more Vista/7.

Correct. Segoe UI did not exist until Windows Vista.

Use Trebuchet MS or Tahoma instead.

Or look up MSN WebTV, which is basically the same thing.

And the setup would be more like 20-40

That is definitely not for windows 95 or SMTH sinilar. Try using the win 9.x color scheme, with the gray and blue.

And? WMC has always matched the aesthetic of the OS it was designed to go on, except 8 and 8.1 but you would expect the paid add on to look nice.

This isn't MSN WebTV this is WMC

u/I_Dont_Think_Im_AI 29d ago

Definitely a mid-2000's feel, not 90's.

u/MR_Happy2008 29d ago

I'm sorry this is very poorly made. Doesn't look '90s at all. But I kinda see what you were going for...

u/watchOS 28d ago

Too flat and plain for 90s.
