From the screenshot it looks like an OSX clone to the point. It seems like the UI designer switched to 2d-dock, inverted the colors, replaced the apple with an 'e' and called it a day.
Not that this is bad per se though.
Edit: They even pretty much copied the icons for browser, address book and dictionary.
- mverwijs 14y agoCheck their blog. It's more descriptive than their website. http://elementaryos.org/journal/when-its-ready http://elementaryos.org/journal/when-its-ready
- manamana 14y agoThe browser icon has changed since: http://elementaryos.org/journal/new-midori-icon-elementary http://elementaryos.org/journal/new-midori-icon-elementary
- DeepDuh 14y agoOh so instead copying Safari's logo they now copy Firefox? http://elementaryos.org/sites/default/files/user/5/midori.png http://elementaryos.org/sites/default/files/user/5/midori.pn... Elementary might have something going on for them but originality is not it apparently.
- manamana 14y agoThe new icon solves the problem of being yet another thing people will point at and say they were just copying Apple. It might not be totally original, but that's okay, everyone borrows from everyone, and I don't think they will get any flak just because it somewhat resembles Firefox. The problem arises when you can trace so many ideas back to a single source that it makes it look like you're just making a cheap copy, which sadly is what is happening with elementary.
- ricardobeat 14y agoYes, it is clearly inspired by OSX, yet you wouldn't mistake the two. If you look at the details (shading, borders, highlights, buttons) it has a different set of standards, some things are closer to KDE's Plasma than Aqua.
