There is a special place in hell for the flat-design folks who decided to remove drop-shadows/gradients from clickable elements on a screen.

- cm3 11y agoFirst we couldn't have 3d widgets, then we got them and designers took it away during the flat ui craze. These designers surely don't use what they design. What's worse is that everybody (KDE and GNOME) went with it drinking the kool-aid. Add on top of that that GNOME doesn't want you to use your own theme and do everything to unsupport or stifle custom themes. GNOME is following Apple's lead of "we know best". It's a sad day to be a GUI user. Look at the wasted vertical space in GNOME3 and tell me how that makes sense with widescreen displays that shrank in vertical size. Designers do not understand that 3d widgets serve a purpose. I wait for the day that designers make everyday tools all totally flat but at least there we have people without sight who will object. I remember when people complained Linux desktops were didn't have UI designers. If this is what it means to have designers, then I'd rather have my OS/2 GUI theme please. Designers gave us square toilet seats and rectangle table ware but our sitting organs and spoons do not match.
