The fact that hotels have started hiring escape room designers to hide their light switches seems related to the fact that UI designers turned scrollbars into the world's shittiest video games/hand-eye coordination tests.

@pluralistic we're all mad about the scrollbars. :)

I want fat scrollbars. Stop making scrollbars so thin. >:(

@Moosader @pluralistic Thin scrollbars? LUXURY. They now have scrollbars that disappear without a trace. The person who came up with that deserves to be subjected to Country Music for eternity.

I hate the rise of invisible UI elements that you have to hover your mouse over to see.

It is so annoying to try to tell students how to use VS Code's source control panel when the "..." button doesn't show up until you're over the Source Control bar - not that bar, the other Source Control bar.

@Moosader @rozeboosje The worst in VS Code is when I misclick near the line numbers and trigger an invisible button that expands a line-by-line git blame or something that takes up half the screen. Because trying to click there again does nothing and then I have to remember which of the dozen toolbar buttons turns it back off.

This may be part of the GitLens extension, but I know I’m not the only one to have triggered it accidentally and don’t know why.
