This reminds me of modern software that exposes all these design layout decisions to the user. Sizes of UI elements, fonts. Detailed colors. People say they love the customizability and there's a whole world of sharable themes for things. Me, I'd prefer the software had the right visual design out of the box and didn't need me configuring it.
- GuB-42 3y agoThis is not how I would define modern software. High customization was more of a trend in the late 90s to the early 00s. People were crazy about themes, skins, custom fonts, colors, mouse cursors. Winamp was famous for that (except that "nobody wanted to see a Winamp 4 skin"). Myspace was the big social network before Facebook, and was well know for the sometimes excessive level of visual design freedom it offered to its users. It was also a time where you had dockable toolbars everywhere, customizable menus, etc... Modern apps usually don't let you change much. I think we have a bit more customization than a decade ago, but it is not as wild as it used to be, in fact, it is rarely more than a "dark mode" toggle.
