RetroWin distils the retro Windows aesthetic into a focused, compact portfolio experience — everything you need, nothing you don’t, wrapped in the instantly recognisable chrome of classic desktop computing. A teal desktop provides the backdrop, while a friendly welcome dialog greets visitors before they explore the rest of your work. This theme is perfect for developers who love the Windows nostalgia angle but want a leaner, more approachable execution than a full OS simulation.Documentation Index

Theme Overview
RetroWin takes the core visual vocabulary of retro Windows — teal desktop wallpaper, grey bevelled window frames, classic title-bar control buttons — and assembles it into a tight, well-paced portfolio layout. The experience opens with a welcome dialog that sets the tone immediately, making visitors feel like they’ve booted up a friendly old machine. Content is presented inside classic windowed panels with authentic control chrome, and navigation is straightforward and intuitive. The compact scope of the design means the nostalgia lands without overwhelming the professional content beneath it.Design Highlights

Who This Theme Suits
RetroWin is well suited to developers, junior engineers, and tech enthusiasts who want a retro Windows portfolio that feels approachable and light rather than overwhelmingly detailed. It works equally well as a first portfolio or a refreshed one, and is a good fit for anyone whose personality runs warm, playful, and a little nostalgic — without wanting to lose professionalism in the process.At a Glance
