Clicking the "100%" next to the zoom slider gets another Word 6.0 refugee, complete with nice pixel art 4:3 CRT.

In Windows 10, Wordpad and Paint can both bring up the classic Windows 3.x colour picker Window, complete with the inscrutable Custom Colours bit. Although Wordpad is gone in Windows 11 and I don't think the Windows 11 Paint has the classic picker. It still (IIRC) has a colour arrangement in its new picker that is based on the classic pickers default colour set. Which were chosen because they dither nicely to 16 colours with the Windows 3.x dither algorithm.



Custom word widgets in that zoom dialog, the scroll wheel doesn’t even work in the spinner box.


Great, didn't know this one, thanks!
