  Are you involved in the project? Isn't this a massive copyright infringement on Apple's design?

    I am using ctl-c ctl-v ctl-x and ctl-z "undo" right now, in 2021. These keyboard shortcuts and their menu-driven actions were definitely claimed as protected interface by Apple long ago. Apple's claims to user-interface control are wearing thin after close to four decades, no?

      Apple claims they own the rounded corners. Pay up if you want to use it.

    Have a look at Big Sur, then check out Deepin, then have a look again at Big Sur.

      Or if you claim that Deepin is too obscure to have influenced OS X, Gnome 3.

        I mean this in the nicest way, but are you seriously suggesting Apple is looking to the open-source Linux community for UI design ideas? Isn't it much more likely the trend is just industry-wide, and Apple is part of it as much as Gnome is? Apple's own UI has been moving in that direction for years anyway before Big Sur.

          Are you seriously suggesting that the open source community has not a single idea that is worth considering by Apple? Anyway, here is gnome 3: https://external-content.duckduckgo.com/iu/?u=https%3A%2F%2Fupload.wikimedia.org%2Fwikipedia%2Fcommons%2F9%2F97%2FGNOME_Shell.png&f=1&nofb=1 https://external-content.duckduckgo.com/iu/?u=https%3A%2F%2F... here is big sur: https://cdn.osxdaily.com/wp-content/uploads/2020/06/macos-big-sur.jpg https://cdn.osxdaily.com/wp-content/uploads/2020/06/macos-bi... Let's take a look at one of the most shown off redesigned apps Here is Mail.app (sierra to catalina): https://external-content.duckduckgo.com/iu/?u=https%3A%2F%2Fi.stack.imgur.com%2FamyMN.jpg&f=1&nofb=1 https://external-content.duckduckgo.com/iu/?u=https%3A%2F%2F... Here is Mail.app (Big Sur): https://i1.wp.com/morrick.me/wp-content/uploads/2020/08/default-interface.png?resize=960%2C579 https://i1.wp.com/morrick.me/wp-content/uploads/2020/08/defa... Here is Gnome's mail app (predates big sur by several years, even in this incarnation): https://wiki.gnome.org/Apps/Geary?action=AttachFile&do=get&target=geary-3-36-main-window.png https://wiki.gnome.org/Apps/Geary?action=AttachFile&do=get&t... So, Gnome's design and Apple's didn't exist in a vacuum. I'm not saying Apple told someone to go rip off Gnome 3, or that Gnome 3 is just better than Big Sur in some way. But I think it's altogether too harsh to deny it had any influence when we look at the changes from Catalina to Big Sur.

            Graphics are cute, yet when one digs deeper there are no proper frameworks that provide the Feel, only the Look.

    The look of the text in the top left in this screenshot where they are trying to mimic an “about this mac” sort of deal, frankly leaves a lot to be desired. It just looks very unattractive to me. https://149366088.v2.pressablecdn.com/wp-content/uploads/2021/02/Screenshot-2021-02-09-at-18.16.jpeg https://149366088.v2.pressablecdn.com/wp-content/uploads/202...

      And why is that menu so unnecessarily wide?

    > Isn't this a massive copyright infringement on Apple's design? I'm not a lawyer but I think Xerox had the same question back in '89 [1]. Given Apple's luck in pursuing infringement claims against Microsoft [2], I doubt a copyright suit would be fruitful in this case.
