My plan for my next electron app is to use one of 98.css [1], XP.css [2] or 7.css [3], so I can have proper native-looking app.

For me, XP is the one I prefer. It looks more "modern" than 98 but not as "glossy" as 7. It has the right balance of better looking buttons and radios, but doesn't go too far

xp looks with 7 taskbar drag-ability would be the sweet spot for me (reckon this ends up comparable to a tame xfce panel too)

I love how the "Show code" buttons in 98.css and XP.css are just plain labels, with no indication that they are clickable until you hover over them, as opposed to the easily visible buttons the CSS actually provides x)

Interestingly, the 7.css fixes this by showing them as expander links instead.
