How UI degrades over time.

Top (Windows 95): great contrast, obvious shapes. Instantly readable.

Middle (Windows 11): shapes are still self-explanatory, but contrast is gone.

Bottom (Windows 11 Insiders): what am I even looking at? The only shape I can understand here is the Run button. Barely visible, though.

Then, on the left, there’s another something that says Run and has an icon. What is it? A window title? Another button? Why does it have to say Run twice?

@grumpy_website hey, I could say the same of MacOS (not so bad, probably), but the feel and responsiveness was far better 15 years ago... the worse thing is that it improved since the first OSX version until 2008 or so... then Apple started with bells and whistles and degrading the simple but efficient experience we enjoyed up to then.

@precariousmind @grumpy_website Just sayin’… Steve was essentially gone starting in 2006.
