A design system for building faithful recreations of old UIs.
Intro
XP.css is an extention of 98.css. A CSS library for building interfaces that look like old UIs.
See XP.css on GitHub

My First Program
Hello, world!
This library relies on the usage of semantic HTML. To make a button, you'll need
to use a <button>. Input elements require labels. Icon buttons rely on
aria-label. This page will guide you through that process, but accessibility is a primary
goal of this project.
You can override many of the styles of your elements while maintaining the appearance provided by
this library. Need more padding on your buttons? Go for it. Need to add some color to your input labels?
Be our guest.
This library does not contain any JavaScript, it merely styles your HTML with some CSS.
This means 98.css is compatible with your frontend framework of choice.
// For XP
import "xp.css/dist/XP.css";
// For 98
import "xp.css/dist/98.css";
Components
Button
A command button, also referred to as a push button, is a control
that causes the application to perform some action when the user clicks it.
A standard button measures 75px wide and 23px tall, with a raised outer and inner border.
They are given 12px of horizontal padding by default.
Show code
<button>Click me</button>
When buttons are clicked, the raised borders become sunken.
The following button is simulated to be in the pressed (active) state.
Show code
<button>I am being pressed</button>
Disabled buttons maintain the same raised border, but have a "washed out"
appearance in their label.
Show code
<buttondisabled>I cannot be clicked</button>
Button focus is communicated with a dotted border, set 4px within the contents of the button.
The following example is simulated to be focused.
Show code
<button>I am focused</button>
Checkbox
A check box represents an independent or non-exclusive choice.
Checkboxes are represented with a sunken panel, populated with a "check" icon when
selected, next to a label indicating the choice.
Note: You must include a corresponding label after
your checkbox, using the <label> element with a for attribute
pointed at the id of your input. This ensures the checkbox is easy to use with
assistive technologies, on top of ensuring a good user experience for all (navigating with the tab key,
being able to click the entire label to select the box).
Show code
<inputtype="checkbox"id="example1"><labelfor="example1">This is a checkbox</label>
Checkboxes can be selected and disabled with the standard checked and disabled
attributes.
When grouping inputs, wrap each input in a container with the field-row class. This ensures
a consistent spacing between inputs.
Show code
<divclass="field-row"><inputcheckedtype="checkbox"id="example2"><labelfor="example2">I am checked</label></div><divclass="field-row"><inputdisabledtype="checkbox"id="example3"><labelfor="example3">I am inactive</label></div><divclass="field-row"><inputcheckeddisabledtype="checkbox"id="example4"><labelfor="example4">I am inactive but still checked</label></div>
OptionButton
An option button, also referred to as a radio button, represents a single
choice within a limited set of mutually exclusive choices. That is, the user can choose only
one set of options.
Option buttons can be used via the radio type on an input element.
Option buttons can be grouped by specifying a shared name attribute on each
input. Just as before: when grouping inputs, wrap each input in a container with the
field-row class to ensure a consistent spacing between inputs.
Option buttons can also be checked and disabled with their corresponding
HTML attributes.
Show code
<divclass="field-row"><inputid="radio7"type="radio"name="second-example"><labelfor="radio7">Peanut butter should be smooth</label></div><divclass="field-row"><inputcheckeddisabledid="radio8"type="radio"name="second-example"><labelfor="radio8">I understand why people like crunchy peanut butter</label></div><divclass="field-row"><inputdisabledid="radio9"type="radio"name="second-example"><labelfor="radio9">Crunchy peanut butter is good</label></div>
Tabs
Tabs provide a way to present related information on separate labeled pages.
Tab Content
You create the tabs, you would use a menu role="tablist" element then for the tab titles you use a button with the aria-controls parameter set to match the relative role="tabpanel"'s element.
<sectionclass="tabs"style="max-width: 500px"><menurole="tablist"aria-label="Sample Tabs"><buttonrole="tab"aria-selected="true"aria-controls="tab-A">Tab A</button><buttonrole="tab"aria-controls="tab-B">Tab B</button><buttonrole="tab"aria-controls="tab-C">Tab C</button></menu><!-- the tab content --><articlerole="tabpanel"id="tab-A"><h3>Tab Content</h3><p>

GroupBox
A group box is a special control you can use to organize a set of
controls. A group box is a rectangular frame with an optional label that surrounds
a set of controls.
A group box can be used by wrapping your elements with the fieldset tag.
It contains a sunken outer border and a raised inner border, resembling an engraved box
around your controls.
A text box (also referred to as an edit control) is a
rectangular control where the user enters or edits text. It can
be defined to support a single line or multiple lines of text.
Text boxes can rendered by specifying a text type on an
input element. As with checkboxes and radio buttons, you
should provide a corresponding label with a properly set for
attribute, and wrap both in a container with the field-row class.
A slider, sometimes called a trackbar control, consists of a bar that
defines the extent or range of the adjustment and an indicator that
shows the current value for the control...
Sliders can rendered by specifying a range type on an
input element.
You can make use of the has-box-indicator class replace the
default indicator with a box indicator, furthermore the slider can be wrapped
with a div using is-vertical to display the input vertically.
Note: To change the length of a vertical slider, the input width
and div height.
A drop-down list box allows the selection of only a
single item from a list. In its closed state, the control displays
the current value for the control. The user opens the list to change
the value.
Dropdowns can be rendered by using the select and option
elements.
Show code
<select><option>5 - Incredible!</option><option>4 - Great!</option><option>3 - Pretty good</option><option>2 - Not so great</option><option>1 - Unfortunate</option></select>
By default, the first option will be selected. You can change this by
giving one of your option elements the selected
attribute.
Show code
<select><option>5 - Incredible!</option><option>4 - Great!</option><optionselected>3 - Pretty good</option><option>2 - Not so great</option><option>1 - Unfortunate</option></select>
Window
The following components illustrate how to build complete windows using
98.css.
Title Bar
At the top edge of the window, inside its border, is the title bar
(also reffered to as the caption or caption bar), which extends across
the width of the window. The title bar identifies the contents of the
window.
Include command buttons associated with the common commands of the
primary window in the title bar. These buttons act as shortcuts to specific
window commands.
You can build a complete title bar by making use of three classes,
title-bar, title-bar-text, and title-bar-controls.
A Title Bar
Show code
<divclass="title-bar"><divclass="title-bar-text">A Title Bar</div><divclass="title-bar-controls"><buttonaria-label="Close"></button></div></div>
We make use of aria-label to render the Close button, to let
assistive technologies know the intent of this button. You may also use
"Minimize" and "Maximize" like so:
A Title Bar
A Helpful Bar
Show code
<divclass="title-bar"><divclass="title-bar-text">A Title Bar</div><divclass="title-bar-controls"><buttonaria-label="Minimize"></button><buttonaria-label="Restore"></button><buttonaria-label="Close"></button></div></div><br><divclass="title-bar"><divclass="title-bar-text">A Helpful Bar</div><divclass="title-bar-controls"><buttonaria-label="Help"></button><buttonaria-label="Close"></button></div></div>
Window contents
Every window has a boundary that defines its shape.
To give our title bar a home, we make use of the window
class. This provides a raised outer and inner border, as well as some
padding. We can freely resize the window by specifying a width in the
container style.
To draw the contents of the window, we use the window-body
class under the title bar.
A Window With Stuff In It
There's so much room for activities!

Status Bar
A status bar is a special area within a window, typically the bottom, that displays information
about the current state of what is being viewed in the window or any other contextual information, such as keyboard
state.
You can render a status bar with the status-bar class,
and status-bar-field for every child text element.
A Window With A Status Bar
There are just so many possibilities:
A Task Manager
A Notepad
Or even a File Explorer!

TreeView
A tree view control is a special list box control
that displays a set of objects as an indented outline based
on their logical hierarchical relationship.
To render a tree view, use an ul element with the
tree-view class. The children of this list (li
elements), can contain whatever you'd like.
We can put
✨ Whatever ✨
We want in here
Show code
<ulclass="tree-view"><li>We can put</li><li><strongstyle="color: purple">✨ Whatever ✨</strong></li><li>We want in here</li></ul>
To make this a tree, we can nest further ul elements
(no class needed on these). This will provide them with a nice dotted
border and indentation to illustrate the structure of the tree.
To create expandable sections, wrap child lists inside of
details elements.

ProgressBar
With a progress bar, users can follow the progress
of a lengthy operation. A progress bar may either show an approximate
percentage of completion (determinate) or indicate that an operation is
ongoing (indeterminate)
To render a progress bar, use a <progress> element.
The max attribute describes how much work the task indicated by the progress element requires, if present, must have a value greater than 0 and be a valid floating point number. The default value is 1.
The value attribute specifies how much of the task that has been completed. It must be a valid floating point number between 0 and max, or between 0 and 1 if max is omitted.
Show code
<progressmax="100"value="70"></progress>
If there is no value attribute, the progress bar is indeterminate; this indicates that an activity is ongoing with no indication of how long it is expected to take.
XP.css started as a fork of 98.css (a fun project started by Jordan
Scales)
and is now trying to boilerplate the GUI to be able to theme it easily.
If you want to make a theme or contribute i'd love to see where you can take this!
