- Palette: the Windows 95 desktop colours — silver
#c0c0c0 chrome, white
document fields, black text, navy #000080 selection and title bars, teal
desktop colour in the app icon. Light and dark preferences both render the
same period palette.
- Chrome: raised and sunken 2px bevels built from box-shadow rims
(
--w95-raised / --w95-sunken), applied to buttons, menus, dialogs,
switches, the composer field and text inputs. Buttons sink one pixel when
pressed; the primary action takes the navy fill.
- Scrollbars: classic 16px scrollbars with raised 3D thumbs, arrow buttons
(pixel SVG triangles), and the Windows 95 50% dither track.
- Selection: navy block selection with white text; menu items highlight in
navy with white text and icons.
- Tooltips: pale-yellow
#ffffe1 Windows 95 help bubbles with a black
border.
- Icons: toolbar and sidebar SVGs are replaced with hand-drawn 16×16 pixel
sprites (masked in
currentColor); every other SVG is snapped to crisp pixel
edges with square caps and mitred joins.
- Type: Fusion Pixel Font 12px
(proportional for UI text, monospaced for code), served by the plugin's Host
half from
/dsh_win95_skin/*.woff2; no network access at runtime.
- Frame: the viewport gets the raised window bezel, the sidebar a 1px
divider, and the pixel arrow cursor is kept.
Layout inside the window keeps the Harness structure: silver sidebar, white
conversation area, sunken white composer, navy settings title bar.
Install
This directory is a complete bundle: INSTALL.md has the install, uninstall and
troubleshooting steps in Chinese and English. In short, put the directory
somewhere permanent and ask DSH to run plugin_manager install_bundle with its
absolute path, then reload the page.
It is written against DSH 0.2.1-rc.2. The stylesheet targets that version's
class and data-slot names, so a future DSH release can leave a few components
unstyled until the selectors are refreshed; nothing in the DSH installation is
modified, so deleting the bundle always restores the stock UI.

Licence
The plugin code is MIT licensed (see LICENSE). The bundled fonts keep their own
licence: Fusion Pixel Font, Copyright (c) 2022 TakWolf, is distributed under the
SIL Open Font License 1.1 (see LICENSE-Fonts.txt). The bundled files are
unmodified builds from @fontsource/fusion-pixel-12px-proportional-sc and
@fontsource/fusion-pixel-12px-monospaced-sc. Keep both licence files when you
pass the bundle on.
No Microsoft assets are shipped: the icons are original pixel drawings, and the
appearance is a style homage, not a Windows 95 redistribution.
