Retro Windows

Windows 95 chrome: gray title bars, MS Sans Serif, pixel typography, full nostalgia.

A single self-contained HTML deck — typography, palette, decorative system, and slide vocabulary are all tuned together. Mixing layouts across templates breaks the system; stay inside this one.

At a glance

Scheme: light
Formality: low
Density: medium
Slides in demo: 10

Best for

Anything that should feel knowingly nostalgic: retro gaming, Y2K-aesthetic brands, creator portfolios with a 90s vibe, tech-history talks, deliberately tongue-in-cheek decks. A great choice anywhere a playful retro reference is the entire point.

Avoid for

Decks that need to read as modern, elegant, or institutionally credible — the Win95 chrome will always read as a costume.

Workflow

Clone example.html into the user's workspace as the working file.
Replace placeholder content with the user's real headlines, body copy, numbers, names, dates, and section labels. Match existing dimensions when swapping image placeholders.
Preserve the design system. Never substitute fonts, recolor the palette, restructure the layout grid, or strip decorative elements (corner brackets, paper grain, geometric shapes, illustrated SVGs). They are part of the identity.
Adjust deck length by duplicating layouts. If the user has more content than the demo holds, duplicate an existing slide of the most appropriate layout. If less, drop slides from the bottom. Update page-number labels.
Designing missing layouts: if a slide needs a layout the template doesn't have, design it from scratch using the same fonts, palette, decorative vocabulary, spacing rhythm, and component grammar — never bail to a different template.
Keep the navigation runtime as shipped. If the deck ships an assets/deck-stage.js or inline keyboard handler, leave it intact.
