Minimalism was a mistake.

That's the issue: it doesn't.
90s design wasn't actually flat. It was simplistic, but it wasn't nearly as flat as flatshit.
Flatshit sits in uncanny valley between 90s design and late 00's glass design. And it's flatter than both. And it looks like crap.

what are you on about? Aero looked like shit and was the definition of bloat.
Julian Bailey
Flatshit looks like it was designed in PowerPoint

Even Windows 3.1 wasn't as flat.
Wyatt Parker
the 3.1 and 95 era was the Golden Age of Icons. No icons have ever looked as good since.
Easton Johnson
Nothing more is needed. This is design for ages.
Anthony Gomez
Bitmapped icons were the best thing that ever happened to OSes.
This is how you do minimalism.
Lucas Sanders
I remember how cool it was when I discovered that you could just rename a 32x32 BMP file to *.ico and use it as an icon. I made custom icons for almost everything.
David Allen
I did that too. I thought that was how file conversions worked. I later converted an animated gif to a jpg, and to my surprise it was still animated after.

well I DID hear about this person that believed that just changing a file extension was enough to convert it
Colton Young
you're making me sad user :(

Alexander Sanchez
Damn, that is how they came up with the design.
Jeremiah Stewart
Oldschool interfaces are literally flatshit with some shading on the edges. Nostalgic dissonance is fucking hilarious.
>but muh shitty pixel icons were soulful!
Josiah Peterson
At least it doesn't look like it was made in fucking Excel - .
Classic design is very simplistic (hardware limitations were an important factor to consider at the time), but flatshit is just fucking lazy.
Kayden Moore
The icons for desktop and network get me every time
John Edwards
Meh, I don't see those fucking huge title bars and window borders. Because we can't forget tabletfags and their sausage fingers, right?
