What's with all of the lines that aren't quite straight? This set of web pages are an experiment to evaluate how a similar look and feel can be used in the next version of Mathtest. A long gap has existed between the development of Mathtest 3 (EGA graphics on early PCs) and now, where average computers display higher resolutions and more colors. This is not to say that application delelopment environments can now easily support the use of hand-drawn UI elements; it will take a lot of work to pull this off.
The icon designs are drawn in the same style of the designs that had been used in both the Obnox/OS and Office of the Future depictions of user interfaces. The whole set of web pages is also designed to appear consistent with the appearance of an adventure game project, and Customs at PQ Int'l, both of which also heavily use hand-drawn images.
