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.htmlinto 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.jsor inline keyboard handler, leave it intact.

FAQ
Can I change the colors and fonts?
It's not recommended. The retro look is an essential part of the design, and changing these elements can break the style.
What does 'design system' mean?
It's the set of rules and visual elements (colors, fonts, layouts) that define the presentation's appearance. You need to follow these rules to maintain the style.
How do I add more slides?
You can duplicate existing slides that have a layout similar to what you need.
