Based on my experience as a web developer working with many designers over some 20 years of design trends, here’s the problem:
Default styles aren’t pretty.
That’s it. They’re superior in every other way. You always know what to click, you always know what an element will do, how it behaves, the UX is consistent with your OS, etc. Default elements are fantastic.
- markdown 5y agoNot datepickers. The datepicker element is garbage.
- admax88q 5y agoToo true
- felixfbecker 5y ago> the UX is consistent with your OS Buttons in Chrome on macOS look completely different than in native apps. Buttons and context menu in Chrome's native <video> controls look yet again different, following Material Design. From the things one could argue are good about native browser styles "consistency with the OS" is definitely not one of them.
