Thinks you can click on should look like things you can click on. This is why the hamburger menu is bad. Even people that have been in tech for decades often don't realize that's the menu they're supposed to click on. This is why it was bad all those years ago when "UX" suddenly became a thing and designers inserted their craft into everything as if they were in marketing or something.
There is a happy medium between something written by a ham radio operator in 1997 and what counts as "good ui design" today.
Though you probably shouldn't listen to me. I still prefer the look of the Windows 3.1 GUI.
- collyw 1y agoI think it took me a good year or two of seeing hamburger menus to realize that it was a menu icon. Totally shit in terms of intuitiveness. And of course no text to suggest that it's a menu.
- const_cast 1y agoAt least make it a gear or something to imply "psst you can make changes here". Three lines? Three lines? That's what we settled on? Okay. Yeah okay.
- collyw 1y agoI kind of assumed that the three lines were to represent a menu with three choices, but it's not at all obvious
- hulitu 1y ago> I still prefer the look of the Windows 3.1 GUI. Although not so good as Win2k UI, it still looks thousand times better than Windows 10 or 11 GUI. I really think that, today's UI developers, leave their brain at the entrance.
