- ganzuul 6y agoI want animated swirly widgets showing the TCP status of individual apps! No more rectangles! Cubism is for simps!
- voldacar 6y agounironically yes lol
- agumonkey 6y agocareful man, you're about to ask for a button on your phone
- medium_burrito 6y agoI too hope for this- I mentioned it in another thread about UX, but basically it would be great if the web was just data and some metadata, and our browser would skin everything appropriately. A lightweight web is pipe dream though :(
- voldacar 6y agoUs likeminded people should band together and create some kind of guild or cabal devoted to dismantling this crushing regime of lazy, flat, aesthetically unfulfilling UI styling. The neo-skeuomorphist reactionary front would be a good name
- badsectoracula 6y agoTechnically on Linux you can have your GUIs look like this since both GTK and Qt are themeable. It is just that everyone seems to be making slight variations on the same Aqua and Metro inspired ideas the last decade or so.
- cpach 6y agoI can relate. But would pixel-based designs really work well on today’s hires displays?
- RedShift1 6y agoWe have the technology for pixel perfect rendering (SVG, ...)
- contravariant 6y agoSimple, just do what all the indie games do and go for deliberately pixelated designs.
