This repository contains a small collection of select vintage software screenshots. The captured windows include (among others):
- Splash Screens;
- About Windows;
- New Document Windows; and
- Registration Screens
from System 6 & 7, Mac OS 8 & 9, Windows 1, 3 & 95, and SerenityOS. All these screens have one common function: welcome the user and provide information about its software. They are often the first thing you see upon starting up an application, so special attention is usually given regarding its appearance.
