How long did it take to get the OS-level settings for reduced motion and preferred theme (light/dark) which provide hints to apps?
Is there time for a new "user isn't interested in your shitty AI^wLLM features" one before the bubble bursts?

- int_19h 1y agoTo be fair, there was no shortage of apps (especially in Win9x era) that did ignore system colors. Which actually took some effort to do, and almost invariably the result would be a gaudy eyesore, but the "it's branding!" people were already around, albeit not as prevalent. Anyway, the last version of Windows that still maintained this functionality (in "Classic" theme) was Win7; Win8 no longer had the ability to disable Aero.
