That "flat everything" design trend of 10-15 years ago was sooooo annoying. And it was so apparent that extremely little thought about the usability of it was considered once the trend gained momentum.
I remember when Android (don't recall exactly which release) replaced their standard back, home and menu buttons with just a triangle, square and circle. It was so bizarre. I felt like a toddler playing with a "fit the blocks into the different shaped holes" toy.
- amatecha 2y ago"Was"? flat UI is still here and it's horrible. It drives me crazy having to guess that a featureless piece of text might be a button because its position in a window vaguely suggests it may be a button and not just a random piece of floating text. So much subtle information is just gone from modern UIs.
