Windows 98 recreates the look and feel of Microsoft’s late-1990s operating system in full detail, wrapping your portfolio inside a teal desktop, program icons, and the grey bevelled windows that defined an era of personal computing. The design is instantly recognisable to anyone who grew up clicking through Program Files and dismissing error dialogs. This theme is tailor-made for developers who want nostalgia to be the opening statement of their personal brand.Documentation Index

Theme Overview
Windows 98 is a meticulous tribute to the operating system that introduced millions of people to the internet. The portfolio lays out content inside classic dialog-style windows with the signature grey inset borders, a teal desktop wallpaper, and a taskbar anchored at the bottom complete with a Start button. Desktop icons provide navigation to different portfolio sections — projects, skills, contact — echoing the file-and-folder logic of the original OS. Typography uses system-era fonts throughout, and the overall interaction design mimics the double-click and windowed workflow that made Win98 iconic.Design Highlights
