There is bikeshedding and there is developers with no concept of design redesigning UIs.
qBittorrent was already quite ugly, but this is just awful: https://github.com/qbittorrent/qBittorrent/issues/18078#issuecomment-1329331777 https://github.com/qbittorrent/qBittorrent/issues/18078#issu... — why that bright blue on top of white? If you really want to make it blue, at least retain a decent contrast. And let's not even start with those icons... The shapes could work, albeit they are quite unrefined, but the garish colours do not convey any information nor show any artistic consistency.

I am fine with people not being good at design, but the worst designers are convinced they are decent enough. It's like that law that eludes me right now, that people bad at something often overestimate their abilities and are blind to their shortcomings.

- midoridensha 4y agoClose, but not quite. D-K is the law where someone who's really good at one thing (like writing software) thinks that this means they're super-smart and therefore must be an expert at everything else.
- dankent 4y agoI'm afraid that is also not correct. Dunning-Kruger is defined as people with low ability in a domain overestimating their own ability in that domain – it does not require someone to be really good in another domain. https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Dunning%E2%80%93Kruger_effect https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Dunning%E2%80%93Kruger_effect
- ilyt 4y agoI think you're at D-K peak about D-K
- sph 4y agoThat's the one.
- zinekeller 4y agoThe irony is the fact that the previous theme is fine. The old design won't win any awards, but it does the job.
- dspillett 4y ago> (cue the "it's open-source, if you don't like it fork it, but dare not criticize us because it's rude" comment) “If you don't like it, fork it” (or a little less polite “if you don't like it, feel free to fork off”!) is perfectly valid IMO. The second part should just be “don't criticize rudely”.
- Semaphor 4y agoAccording to the issue, they tried to find one color that works for both light and dark mode. It ended up working for neither, but it was not random ;)
