What are the modern design trends you hate most? - Lemmy.World

Original question text by @[email protected] [/u/[email protected]] [https://lemmy.ml/u/phantomwise] >What are the modern design trends you hate most? Feel free to rant! Mine are: >- Physical buttons are out of fashion, now EVERYTHING must have a touch screen instead! Especially if it makes the appliance more inconvenient to use. Like having to press a flimsy touch screen ten times to scroll through a washing machine’s programs instead of just turning a physical knob and pressing a physical start button. >- Every website looks like it’s made for a phone and was vomited by the same app in slightly different flavors of vomit. >- Actually EVERYTHING looks like it’s made for a phone… Like what’s the deal with all those hamburger menus on DESKTOP apps? Please just put a regular menu and same me some pointless clicking, it’s not like you’re lacking screen space. I especially hate that those menus can’t be opened from the keyboard like regular menus.

Light themes as default. I don’t want to be maced with photons. Dark themes always please.

Counter offer: dark themes as default for professional software.

I don’t write software in a dimly light geek cave, I do it in a well lit office. And I can’t tell that dark red string from the background.
