Operating System Interface Design Between 1981-2009

April 24th, 2009 No comments

This is a old post on webdesignerdepot.com , but it’s always nice to read.

from WebDesignerDepot:

A Graphical User Interface (GUI for short) allows users to interact with the computer hardware in a user friendly way.

Over the years a range of GUI’s have been developed for different operating systems such as OS/2, Macintosh, Windowsamiga, Linux, Symbian OS, and more.

We’ll be taking a look at the evolution of the interface designs of the major operating systems since the 80’s.

I should mention that this article showcases only the significant advances in GUI design (not operating system advances) and also not all of the graphical user interfaces and operating systems existing today.

Hello, as you may notice, we’re back online! A bit late, but… better late than never…

The reason for the delay was a UPS Battery Problems, which needed some time to locate and fix it.

The “Retr0bright” Project

the retr0bright projectHow to deal with the “not-so-mellow yellow” of old computers and consoles

Anyone who has dug their old computer or console out of the cupboard or loft for some retro gaming will probably have noticed that it maybe hasn’t worn too well with the test of time. The plastics these machines were made of is called ABS and to make it flame retardant (just in case it catches fire after a marathon session) the plastics manufacturers added chemicals that caused the plastic turn yellow or, even worse, brown over a long period of time.
