The "linen" Notification Centre pulldown has always looked awful. The other (pretty nice) uses of linen (multitasking bar, folder contents, Safari runoff area) have the impression of being embedded beneath the rest of the UI, while NC is the exact opposite. Secondly, it has a really harsh light to dark gradient on it that makes the top look almost like worn denim. I hope it's canned with extreme prejudice.
- julianozen 13y agoThis is true. Linen (and texture in general) is a fantastic as a way to represent the virtual seams of an OS. It's just really really poorly used in certain areas like login screens and notification center where it dominates the interface.
- chiph 13y agoI agree. The linen texture looks "rich" to me, when used in certain places (full screen app). But in the Notification Center, it just adds visual clutter and makes it hard to read.
