Reminder that Design should be not just about how it looks but also how it works...
I was hoping since we can move Widgets onto the desktop that perhaps we'd get more spacing for Notifications but nope... 😒
You're a good designer if you can make something work well and is intuitive -- not merely just (in your opinion, making it look good).
No because look at how useful it used to be! Everything was clear, legible, none of this "on hover" bs... and look how many notifications you can have in the list view... wow!
Why does macOS continue to just regress?
@marioguzman it’s so bad!! My running theory is that Apple is bad at retaining talent, and shifts people around too often. There’s no way there’s a “Notifications Team,” and instead we’re seeing some work to bring things into visual alignment, then moving on to something else. Like all software, the problem is ultimately mismanagement because you KNOW people in the company are bothered by this, too!
It’s sooooo frustrating, whatever the reasons
@marioguzman YES ITS SO BEAUTIFUL! Notifications drive me BANANAS all the time. They never show anything. You have to click click click with a nonsensical way to get something useful. And you have to hover and click to dismiss them.
Example: text messages, where you use to be able to click and just reply, now you have to click "show more” (because that makes sense!).
I hate them so much.
@marioguzman @keir I like it 🙃
It adds the necessary contrast with a potentially very busy background (that can include text) without needing a very heavy and strong drop shadow.
But it does look odd when it's just being applied to a lose block of text haha
