It's funny how when the world ran at 640x480 we had scroll bars, separators and buttons with 3D effects, but nowadays with higher resolutions and bigger screens designers strive for the ultimate clean design. Hidden elements that appear when certain gestures are performed, flat buttons that are indistinguishable from labels/text with a colored background, borders and separators get removed or turned into barely visible thin lines.
