It’s quite ironic that we have bigger, higher resolution screens than ever before, and yet we have eschewed visible controls and detail/texture in favour of minimalism and flat design.
I get why: design trends from mobile have moved upwards to desktops. But man, I find myself missing Leopard-era macOS design a lot lately.
- theandrewbailey 3y agoI think of modern flat design as a reaction to the opulent skeuomorphism that had gone too far 10 years ago. My problem is that I hate the flatness, and liked more of the older interfaces. If I had the option of looking at Windows 95-style interfaces forever instead of whatever we have now, I'd go with Windows 95.
