chroma_zone··on The 3D Software Rendering Technology of 1998's Thief: The Dark Project (2019)
TFix is very nice but unfortunately removes the software renderer described in this article. It's very difficult to get the original exe working on modern systems.

TFix also brings back the spatial audio / EAX support that was broken by Vista, which is a huge part of the experience IMO. Highly recommend installing and configuring OpenAL Soft for this game.

chroma_zone··on 2026 will be my year of the Linux desktop
The Win11 start menu used to have a fun bug where pressing Ctrl-Minus would open search with the phrase "zoom out". No other shortcut did this. Just Zoom Out. No idea how a bug like that happens.

I usually add:

  <meta name="color-scheme" content="light dark">
which gives you a nice automatic dark theme "for free"
