You might want to give it a non-Windows name. Classic95 UI Kit or something. Calling it &quot;Windows 95 UI Kit&quot; implies it&#x27;s from Windows 95 and will likely attract the attention of Microsoft lawyers who are obligated to swat down any potential trademark confusion in order to protect the Windows trademark.<p>Microsoft might overlook the copyright violation, but legally they cannot ignore the trademark violation or they risk losing the Windows trademark.<p>Anything WinXXX isn&#x27;t particularly safe. For example, they went after Winternals, who had to change their name to SysInternals (and were eventually acqui-hired by MS). See <a href="https:&#x2F;&#x2F;en.wikipedia.org&#x2F;wiki&#x2F;Microsoft_litigation#Trademarks" rel="nofollow">https:&#x2F;&#x2F;en.wikipedia.org&#x2F;wiki&#x2F;Microsoft_litigation#Trademark...</a> for others.

This looks great. But curious:<p>&gt; 100% Valid W3C HTML Files and made for <i></i>awesome<i></i> developers just like you.<p>Why does a README try to sell itself by talking down to the reader like they&#x27;re a five year old?

Small issue, but maybe not worth spending too much effort to fix, given the low demographic it may affect:<p>Using firefox 68 ESR on Windows (at work), the text in the demo page looks like it&#x27;s been strike-through, it is barely readable.<p>Each line of text has two horizontal lines (one pixel high each) filled with transparency...<p>Disabling the &quot;Windows 65&quot; font family solves the problem - but then Segoe UI is used.
