I know a lot of people love this aesthetic but it was my least favorite era for the UI. At least the look of it anyway.

Interesting, this happened to be one of my favorite looks for windows. It came across as comfortable and professional without looking like plastic or feeling sterile. A comfy medium between dark and light mode, and the glass window decorations were a nice little touch. If you don't mind me asking, what was it that you didn't like? Not looking for beef, just perspective.

Not the person you replied to, but for me it's not a happy medium, it's too far into the plastic-bubble aesthetic. Like a glassy, less colorful version of the baloony XP taskbar style.

Totally understandable, beauty being in the eye of the beholder and all. I appreciate the response, thank you
