- heyoni 3y agoAnd system settings panel is so unresponsive! I think it’s written in react or something?
- whyenot 3y agoI don't know about that. Aqua with it's pin stripes jewel-like buttons and other quirks was significantly worse than what we have today.
- can16358p 3y agoYup. I absolutely hated that skeuomorphic blurry 3D-like design. Flat design looks much, much cleaner. Same for iOS. iOS 7 was the first version that I actually liked looking at.
- BizarreByte 3y agoI strongly disagree. Tiger was the best Mac OS ever looked in my opinion, but this is of course subjective.
- sbuk 3y agoTiger was brushed steel, though it still had the 'lickable' buttons.
- saltminer 3y agoI will confess I miss skeuomorphism, but even if Apple never embraced flatness, Ventura's System Preferences.app is horrendous. I've become reliant upon the search bar to find most things in there, which I rarely had to do before.
- Angostura 3y agoStrongly disagree. Apple’s obsession with making things like scroll bars and window chrome harder to see has been a usability nightmare for me over the last few releases. Frequently these days, with lots of overlapping windows I try to click the top of a window only to find out I’ve clicked on part of the window behind. Yes having everything one colour is lovely and ‘clean’ but horrible to use
- andrekandre 3y agoalso all the icons now being the same shape (like ios) i find myself scanning over and over missing apps i used to find so easily before... such a usability regression (though it does look pretty)
- astrange 3y agoRemember that displays were worse then. One reason we have flat lower-contrast designs now is that we have much higher contrast LCD/OLED panels.
