You know what? Actually yes. This looks awesome.
I like consistency more than the actual style usually. The notification badge on the tiktok icon bothers me the most here, it should be fluffy as well
That was my biggest issue with the style of win8 and 10, chaotic. With win11 is finally mostly consistent... But I use linux and gnome now, but it's annyoing if an app is qt, not gtk, and the chaos comes back again.

I just like the fact that it has some character and personality. Why don't we have more stuff with character and personality?

It's extremely easy for 10 members of a design team to sprint together a minimalist design on Canva on their MacBooks whilst using the rest of the quarterly budget on a third monitor for each member than it is to create designs that have textures, realistic materials, etc, and scale well on all screens and so on.
Everything is better than Liquid Glass
I don't understand this. People have been nostalgic for windows 7 aero for years. I maintained since 7 came out that aero was the best windows UI ever made. It's so pretty and functional. I run Linux with an aero theme to this day.
Why all of a sudden does everyone hate the glass look? It's like a switch flipped.
Edit: Ah I get it. It's not necessarily the glass aesthetic but apple's implementation along with some of the functionality. I didn't actually realize this had to do with Apple at all haha.
Windows 7’s Aero was amazing. Liquid Glass is terrible.
I don’t dislike aero or glass, I just dislike iOS implementation of it. With the wrong background sometimes you can’t read buttons for example, and a myriad of little things that are insignificant on their own but a pain in numbers.
This is with the extra brightness and contrast added by the iOS screenshot functionality during screenshot. I would need a second phone to truly show you the horror of liquid
I was never a fan of aero, but I don't care a lot about UIs in general. It's just that Liquid Glass as implemented by Apple specifically is terrible. When I first updated to it I was looking for how to tune it down and found this article that covers what I think is the biggest issue with their implementation: https://www.macworld.com/article/2891233/this-liquid-glass-toggle-is-a-window-into-apples-broken-design-process.html
They focused so much on making it pretty that it ceased to be functional. There should not be animation lag on basic UI elements. My phone is not that old and my screen will freeze up with a big Liquid Glass bubble obscuring the display for at least a full 2 seconds depending on the button I press. They allow per app Liquid Glass settings, which is great considering how terribly it's been implemented on certain apps, but the fact it's deemed necessary should be a huge indicator of the overall quality. A nonzero amount of dev time was put into making sure we can reject their design direction and still that doesn't work. The safari browser implementation of turning off LG leaves empty blocks on the top and bottom of the screen instead of the normal fade away of those elements, and that is their own browser. I imagine a lot will be patched out soon, but the roll out has been a buggy disaster in my opinion. I think it's really colored people's opinion on LG in general now.
I’ll join in and say that I also don’t understand the hate. I get the readability and accessibility stuff, but as far as pure aesthetic, I personally really enjoy it. I haven’t run into the supposed complete workflow hitches that others seem to have with it.
I never used Windows Vista, but now that that look is back and I'm forced to use mac, I feel like I dodged a bullet and it ricoched back right in my eyes.
Yeah. I've been using Macs since System 6 and while I've often disagreed with Apple's direction, this is the first one that feels downright incompetent, in much the same way as Microsoft's Vista and Windows 8 designs were.
There's no consistency between how things look and how they behave. There is useless clutter everywhere. Legibility of text is an afterthought. It's like they forgot the distinction between graphic design and UI design.
But it looks pretty at a glance, so.......great......
I’m having a hard time understanding where this is coming from.
Vista was hated for a lot of reasons, but visual design wasn’t one of them. If anything it was one of the few things it got right, and why Windows 7 built upon it.
Yeah, that’s the same feeling I have. In the past it was “I don’t like it but can get used to it”, now it’s so bad it’s borderline unusable.
Fuck off, I don’t want to have to vacuum my phone.
If those icons reacted to taps and swipes like actual fluffy fabric, I'd move heaven and earth to install it on my phone.
Reminds me of the style of the recent Kirby games.
I'm getting Wallace and Gromit vibes.
I'm in!
JFC I hate it.
But it's so cursed I want it
Do they squish in deeply when you click them?
I don’t mind Liquid Glass, it’s fine. Fluffy though? Oh man that absolutely would have been a MobileSubstrate tweak back in the wild days of jailbreaking.
I adore this.
no.
Is this a jailbreak theme?
I’ve held off on updating iOS for literally this.
This is a Samsung Galaxy phone, nothing related to iOS or jailbreaking whatsoever.
Oh, my bad. Something about the icons made me think "Apple," but now I see the search bar.
jailbreak
That is a term I have not heard in a long, long time
Yeah.
I got an iPhone at a mega discount, and coming from Android (and jailbroken iOS long before that), I feeling some… annoyance. And pull to jailbreak it. But it’s a very different endeavor these days.
Only if it actually feels fluffy to the touch as well
ios support custom launchers ?
I just use flat icons. Flat everything to be honest.
i like both, but this fluffy stuff is so cool, id install it if there was a launcher that did this
That's awful.
hmm, I think I actually do!
How many alts do you have? I blocked like 20 accounts
Occasionally they come out with something good though.
You'd pretty much need to keep scraping the new instances that pop up - I gather they are and make accounts everywhere. Its just dumb
