#Skeuomorphism

Now that we know that Play was acquired by Apple, it would be probably stupid to work on anything too generic that is highly likely to appear in the next iterations of Interface Builder. But I still want to play with PaintCode’s area of operation in SwiftUI/Metal medium, maybe some specific UI design workflows, and especially custom UI components and styling (skeuomorphism-philia ❤️).

#KDE Oxygen (and Air) gets some love again! Really wonderful news. I think i can switch back to it soon 😍 https://filipfila.wordpress.com/2026/04/05/halfway-there-to-6-7-updates-on-oxygen-and-air/

New video: the Kensington Adding Machine software for the Mac from 1993. #skeuomorphism This was originally planned as an April Fools video, but really it's not all that foolish. youtu.be/XUknTGEt3mU

Gotta love that Windows Vista-esque Aero Glass look! I'd love to see that return someday, at least in some capacity. Apple's Liquid Glass is on its way to that point. #FrutigerAero #kde #KDEPlasma #kubuntu #linux #skeuomorphism #liquidglass

What are we calling the “gas pedal” in EVs?

#Skeuomorphism

I think I mastered the #aero look.

#iOS26 #Skeuomorphism #LiquidGlass

Also, I'm completely in love with the #Shortwave widget.

What's so pathetic about this redesign of the #macOS drive icons from #Apple isn't that it ditches #Skeuomorphism, it's that it hangs on to skeuomorphism by trying to show a non-euclidian geometry vision of the face of a desktop drive.

Apple lacks the #Courage to go full geometric primitive and make icons that are pure metaphor. Given they're cargo-culting their own graphical history in so many decorative ways, they could have made uncompomised high-fidelity takes on the pre-Aqua icons.

I really dislike the flat design that has come to overpower everything since 2013. I prefer the old iphone Skeuomorphism, pixel art icons from the '90s (e.g. #BeOS), and the new #neuomorphism (but with more contrast than shown in the pic). But flat design, no, thank you.

Mind blown. 🤯 #skeuomorphism in #ios26 this is going to take some getting used to…

#Aperture remains the single finest #UI style #Apple has produced in its entire history. In my greatest tech fantasy of Apple devices, it would be #Mac, #iPad, and #iPhone all using Aperture's grey UI meat, button styles, and gentle #Skeuomorphism.

Nå som jeg knapt har sett et A4-ark på flere år så vil jeg bare ha det sagt at ark-fokuserte formater, det være seg PDF eller office-formater, nå er skeuomorfiske, og jeg håper allermest på deres snarlige naturlige avgang

RM2000 is now available for public beta testing via Apple TestFlight 🔥

I wanted to make a curating & idea collection app (think of bookmark managers, PureRef, or Are.na) but for snippets of sound playing anywhere from your computer.

Let me know what you think!

Introducing a little passion project 😌 RM2000 Tape Recorder is a macOS tool for recording and managing audio samples as fast as possible

Platform-agnostic tagging system, never meant to lock you into any service. Optimized for performance, private by design. The digital equivalent of a Yamaha SU10 with the looks of a Sony PCM-D100

Built using fully native macOS technologies (SwiftUI + AppKit). Modified version of Tachyo as the main font face (thank you @ensix !)

Available on the Mac App Store soon — Free Public Beta Testing opens by Feburary via Apple TestFlight

Who needs flat design when we have vintage skeuomorphism? This is the EDITKEYS module of Medley Interlisp, a text formatting toolbar (thin horizontal window) of the TEdit WYSIWYG rich text editor (main window).
