Bye, Dye - Jeremy Kanter

Product design. User research. Branding. Music. Sports. Photography. Making stuff on the computer.

All the Mac nerds saying Liquid Glass in Tahoe went too far, but I don't think it went anywhere near far enough 😅 I want to see it go forward, not backward. Give it more color, give it more depth and clarity, more animation, (maybe call it Aqua…), but let's not revert to what was already a Dye-era iOS-7-inspired design anyway

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?
... 1/3

Just when I think we all need to figure out how to make this platform more diverse and grow faster, Elon does the hard work for us by saying something completely stupid.
