[–] adichandra@alien.top [B] 1 point 2 years ago (1 child) I miss Aqua UI. That lickable button. permalink fedilink source hideshow 2 child comments replies: [–] guygizmo@alien.top [S, B] 1 point 2 years ago More than that, I miss UI elements that could clearly be read at a glance. Buttons were bordered and outset and looked like buttons. Text fields were inset and looked like text fields. Title bars were always there for dragging windows. Different sections of UI used light and shadow to make their groupings read clearly. It all happened unconsciously because our brains are designed to notice things like that. And it all was beautifully consistent across the OS. Skeuomorphism, at least in these specific regards, makes sense dammit! permalink fedilink source parent
