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

A skeumorphic bubble vector I created in Inkscape.
I added a version with a black background just in case the transparent version doesn't display properly. I notice some social media platforms don't support transparency for some odd reason and it's making me paranoid.

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.

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.

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).

The "magnifying glass" 🔍 icon for Search is a standard.
Some designers have redesigned this standard icon.
In these 4 screenshots, do you see a:
🔍 Magnifying glass?
Q Uppercase q, the letter?
EQ Two uppercase letters?Have these redesigns been tested for their impact on user performance? Do these redesigns reduce recognition of the Search icon?

For #genuary28 tried to recreate as many classic #skeuomorphic #GUI icons as I could in one hour of #CreativeCoding in #Processing. So this is also #genuary27
I managed these four: save, record audio, send email, delete. Took a few minutes extra to fix bugs, adjust background colour, and dump frames for the animation.

For shits and giggles I just tried switching the application style in #Linux to the old win9x style. But man, look at those *useful signifiers*! Buttons that are OBVIOUS. Windows that have clear EDGES. Scrollbars that are big enough to click, always visible and PROVIDE INFORMATION, helping giving me a ->mental model<- of the content. What the hell has happened to UI design in the past decade? Minimalism destroys #usability.
