Simulating the old "DOS EDIT" text editor on Windows 10

I am not that old but, hey, I am a nerd and I have my principles: vintage computing looks nice. I wrote lots of essays, homeworks and personal diary entries in my old computers using DOS Edit and for a while I was missing the fact that it cannot work on Windows 10. Yes, there are tons of "distraction free" text editors (google for this term if you haven't seen this yet).

This is how the EDIT looks like:

And here is how I managed to configure the Dark Room text editor to look like the EDIT environment:

It is not a complete imitation (the menus and the framing around the editing window are out). It is just the background color and the fonts, but it is good enough. And Dark Room allows for full screen mode, so it gets really distraction free as long as you resist the temptation to minimize the window because... well, then the distractions will be still all there, not too far away.

If you are interested, this is what you need:

Latest version of Dark Room (click HERE or google for "Dark Room distraction free download" if link is not working).

Once installed, set font color for:

And set back ground color for:

(OBS: these are my approximate colors, not an exact clone of the DOS Edit colors. Well enough for me, but maybe you can get the exact original ones somewhere... let me know).

Finally, the ingredient that was missing in all other "DOS Like" editors I found... the FONT. I am using:  AcPlus IBM VGA 9x16, 24pt

You can find this font in THE OLDSCHOOL PC FONT RESOURCE.
