"should have to enable "Clown Mode" or something."
Bwahahaha, +1! This reminds me of calling Windows XP's default motif "Fisher-Price" mode. Which, sadly, looks professional and efficient compared to Windows (and, increasingly, the Mac) today.
- mghackerlady 7mo agoI actually think modern windows looks nice. It isn't nearly as good as the classic 9x look, but fluent obviously is a response to the visual shitshow that was 10
- MoonWalk 7mo agoIt's just a bunch of text and maybe some horizontal lines. It manages to take "flat" design and make it even worse. The list of regressions is seemingly endless. Where are the menus? Oh... scattered all over each application's UI, behind multiple hamburger buttons. What application does this window belong to? Who knows, since the title bar is missing. And WTF is up with the abandonment of the File dialog? Now, every application presents a crude, inscrutable text-based form with no context showing WHERE you're putting anything. No offense, but it's incompetent garbage.
- mghackerlady 7mo agoOh yeah the UX is absolute doodoo but I think the design system itself looks nice
- bigyabai 7mo agoBig Sur made me take back every Fischer Price comment I ever made about Windows XP. I didn't think it was possible to make a more childish UI than Aqua, but here we are.
- MoonWalk 7mo agoHey, at least we're finally spared the infantile "MY this" and "MY that" nonsense that dominated the early 2000s.
- HerbManic 7mo agoI like that Apple was trying somwthing that has a little more texture and soul to it, but Liquid glass needs a lot of work to be made more subtle and usable. 10 out of 10 idea, 3 out of 10 execution.
