Why are recreations of old UIs always differently wrong? Is pixel-perfection too much to ask for?


Well, it is difficult and a lot of work.

Maybe _you_ can help.


I have made pixel-perfect renditions before, but I would be worried to release them for fear of legal problems.


I guess you self-answered your question then.


Not really, cause these guys don’t seem to be afraid to use the Windows logo, so why not use historically accurate fonts, icons etc.?
