I wouldn't know, because your screenshots are smaller than a postage stamp on mobile and your website prevents zooming in.

- mtmail 1y agoDirect link to the full screenshot. 1.8MB, 2624x1080 https://www.osnews.com/wp-content/uploads/2025/08/Screenshot_20250821_232812-1.png https://www.osnews.com/wp-content/uploads/2025/08/Screenshot...
- firesteelrain 1y agoReminds me a little bit of Solaris for some reason
- hedora 1y agoIt looks a lot like gnome 2. That was the last version informed by human factors research and user studies. Sun performed the research. It’s not a coincidence that things like mint and cinnamon are still being maintained.
- vdfs 1y agoIronically it's the latest version of Plasma KDE using Qt 6, took a lot of time to port it from 5
- johnisgood 1y agoOpenSolaris looked great, IMO. OpenIndiana looks the same (no surprise here).
- bestham 1y agoI can see what you are getting at. Reminds me a bit of their GTK theme Nimbus for the Gnome based Java Desktop System but also Bluecurve of Gnome 2 with Bitstream Vera. Perhaps it just looks dated?
- firesteelrain 1y agoYea maybe I asked AI and it said the reason why is both Sun’s design and the Nokia design are both “a neutral neo-grotesque foundation, refined contrast, and consistent spacing”

- guiambros 1y agoNot defending the site, but you can press and hold on the image, and open in a new tab. At least you can see full size and zoom in.
- layer8 1y agoDoesn’t work for me on iOS Safari.

- krapp 1y agoYou can also just click the thumbnails and it shows the full sized image in a modal. I assume everyone here blocks javascript by default and would never know that. And now the thread will be entirely dominated by pedantic complaints about the site's implementation, per HN tradition.
- trelbutate 1y agoIf I do that on the first screenshot it shows up even tinier than it was before for some reason
- crabmusket 1y agoSame for me, Firefox/Android.
- krapp 1y agoIt didn't for me, idk what your problem is.
- olig15 1y agoPack it up, guys. It work on this guys machine…

- liendolucas 1y agoDoes anyone know what's the rationale for doing this? It's annoying and defeats the very purpose of viewing an image or page. I consider it an anti-pattern.

- LinAGKar 1y agoI've made sure to configure the browser to allow zooming on any website. Don't understand why websites try to block this.
- Wowfunhappy 1y agoOn mobile, zoom can be annoying in certain webapps. It's easy to accidentally zoom in while playing a game, for example. Is web the wrong platform for these types of experiences? Perhaps, but it's also the only way to avoid the walled garden.
- Biganon 1y agoBecause they want their website to look and feel exactly like an app. Because users expect apps, presumably. Because modern life is rubbish.
- dwood_dev 1y agoThings like this and sites wanting microfonts make me glad that reader mode exists that can strip all the styling. Reader mode exposes the image as an inline element you can easily tap to expand, then pinch to zoom.
- 627467 1y agoMaybe it's your browser/phone restricting that? Zoom works find on default samsung browser https://imgur.com/a/brZ3FXP https://imgur.com/a/brZ3FXP
- efilife 1y agoI clicked and the image opened to me
