The retro layout is lovely. I’ve created a similar theme for my website, but yours seems to be more faithful to the old Windows 95 windows!

How easy would it be to make the theme selector [x] button also close the menu? I know there's a "close menu" button at the bottom but I can't fight the habit, I click the [x] every time!

That [X] button is a pseudo-element, which means it's only a visual detail, not an interactive element. But I can easily add that functionality by using a secondary hidden element! Thanks for the idea! <3

I'm glad the 404city devs are willing to cater to the nitpicks of a single user. That's customer service!

Haha! I'm really happy to hear that! ;) I'm glad to have followers who share their own opinions and ideas for my site and help me develop it even further. I don't care if it's a small detail or not. Thank you so much <3

Oh, they're usually just minor changes. Mostly fixing little details or adding small things.

I don't know what your first language is, but I will let you know that your English is far better than some native English I've been forced to read. I think you should put your first site's landing page up as an easter egg, because if you were going for late 90s / early 2000s, *chef's kiss*

Really? I'm so happy to hear it, especially from you! I actually took an English proficiency test a few years ago. I scored 76 out of 120. It told me that I was at the B2 level. Yet, it still took me a painful hour to correct my typos and fix the awkward parts of that blog entry, but I'm still glad that people can at least understand it. Sometimes I wish English were my first language.

That easter egg page idea is so cool! I actually thought about it, but instead of making it an easter egg, I was planning to recreate it and put it on my layouts page. But I actually thought of another easter egg for my old layouts: I'm planning to add a feature to that computer image on the homepage. When it's clicked, it'll open a desktop version of my current site, as a callback to my third layout!
