Roundness of buttons? Buttons shouldn't be round in the first place. Back in the day, they were these rectangular things with a shadow and a highlight. You could instantly things you can and cannot click on. Now, it's anyone's guess. Do people click on the wrong stuff? Do people fail to discover functionality because it's hidden in plain sight? Of course they do!
Is there a place for custom components, yes, but not to the extent that every website out there is styling their buttons, and that even Windows itself is hiding scroll bars.
- zigzag312 2y agoThere's a lot of A/B testing going on on the web. > Buttons shouldn't be round in the first place. Is there any data available to back this up? Modern UIs are not perfect by any means, but from what I remember, those old UIs were not great either... even worse in terms of UX on average. While consistency is important, placing it above all else, leads to suboptimal UX and bland UIs. How many times did you hear people raving about how great is the UI of an app build with a generic form builder?
