Perusing the authors Github, it looks like they also maintain the UI library for the classic Win9x look and feel: https://github.com/BAndysc/Classic.Avalonia

I love it, I might have to try making my own app using it

IMO that library is worth a submission as much as the VB6 recreation! The attention to detail is excellent, it makes me want to dive into Avalonia again.

Author of the demo and library here, thank you for kind words, this was my goal to achieve almost pixel perfect recreation of the original GUI (which is sometimes not very easy as some components look slightly different in different programs, I meant small differences in buttons sizes, paddings, etc.).

A piece of feedback: The maximized MDI windows did not keep their border, AFAIK.
