What a gruesome UI garbage. Really.

A disgusting mess.

I pledge there will be no menu icons in the new #NeoFinder version!

I have already added code to remove that ugly crap in macOS 26.

I like iconography. And San Francisco (and SF Symbols) is very beautiful. The problem stems not from the existence of icons, but programmer mistakes. In this case, the icons were probably accidentally inherited. Having no icons would have made more sense.

Not only are this trillion dollar MEGA CORP unable to find icons to suit simple shapes, the "liquid glass" UI is making a right mess of the submenu. What have these utter NUTTERS done???

@markusms Is Apple thinking that people will be paying money for this Studio bundle? I can see what a premium experience it is.
Show threadEmmanuele BassiJan 29

@markusms from "do not use icons for menus, unless they are for shared metaphors like cut, copy, paste" to "projectile vomit icons in your menus".

Also: that liquid glass blob in the sub menu is horrific and hinders the legibility of the icon anyway.

@ebassi @markusms also that’s a huge menu…
Show threadEmmanuele BassiJan 29

@hbons yeah, that's an altogether awful UI; the only way to make it worse would be to make it context sensitive and hide items, just to break any sort of spatial memory in the process…
