Nothing. Everything just eventually evolves into the minimalistic design until all content looks bland, although maybe then some websites/apps would go back to using gradients and whatnot.
Matthew Ward
probably your pic related but with more subtle gradients and more in tune colors. I don't know if it's just me but I find those shades of blue and green together eye burning.
Jonathan Bennett
More shadows or some fucking shit like that.
Angel Diaz
well...
Jacob Nguyen
windows 10 feels so flat and bland compared to this. Soul vs soulless meme
Jaxson Ward
those gradients,those ICONS, that AERO
we won't ever get anything close to this we'll have to suffer the millenial "minimalism" garbage
Camden Davis
Is this Vista? Why does it look so fucking beautiful?
Justin Johnson
XP's default scheme was objectively trash, and 2000 looked so much better. It always looked like some sort of fisher price bullshit to me, and I always changed it when possible.
Is there any decent way of changing Win10's design to go back to aero? It looks so bland, and I've always loved Win7's aero design. Especially because I've been using it for like 12+ years now, factoring in Vista.
Grayson Harris
I think what I dislike most about minimalism is that it uses 10x the resources as...well...stuff.

vr and ar + ai generated textures

are zoomers looking into skeuomorphic designs? It feels like any millenial/gen Y i ask, they prefer boomer win95/win7 aesthetic. its boomer teachers that teach graphic design who enable these flatshit designs to pass, something you could do in mspaint. So the snoy latte slurping lgbtqpedo macfags get to make lazy shit and set the standards.
Hudson Johnson
Flatter and rounder
Carter Scott
because vista is beautiful
its the red headed step child of the windows family but its by far the best looking
at least to losers like me using a 13 year old thinkpad
Luis Howard
Google is slowly ditching material/cards and is slowly making a "everything is white" interface,so there's that.
Xavier Powell
Windows 7 looks way better.
James Garcia
Fuck you for removing Aero after Windows 7. Least I can kind of do it on linux?
Ian Thomas
the thing i don't like about vista is the green folders
Jackson Powell
I like your taste in music, user
Brody Sullivan
flat is beautiful
avoid skeuomorphic designs

I kinda like both, for different reasons.
Late 90s GUIs were peak usability, and I was OK with that.
Late 00s GUIs were peak design, and I was OK with that.
Thing is, they don't mesh together. At all.
Flatshit tries to do both at the same time and fails. Everything just ends up looking so bland, it's soul-crushing. Even Windows 2.0 didn't look as bland, and that one had graphical limitations of EGA color pallette to deal with.
If there is Uncanny Valley for GUIs, this must be it.

Are there any operating systems that are like Windows XP? I feel so sad to know that I'll never experience such a comfy operating system ever again.
Cameron Sullivan
linux with a skin
Carson Reed

Brody White
Windows 7 with a skin.

Pretty much any GNU/Linux desktop can look like it, here's one such theme

Blake Barnes
Holy fuck!
Windows 10 was really designed in Excel ?
Jose Campbell
nothing makes me more hard than vista's interface. not even a glorious brapper makes me as hard.
Bentley Diaz
how does this UI make sense at all? i'll give you guys a challenge. can you figure out what icon in the start menu i have highlighted.
>tfw if I didn't even say i was highlighting an icon in the start menu would you even have noticed without looking for it?
Luis Garcia
but star trek had flat UI
Jack Miller
Next they're gonna add blurred translucency back into to Windows' flat colors.
Benjamin Lee
that looks so fucking ugly, like cutout films of plastic. you can't half ass this, they need weight
Anthony King
KDE really looks like bootleg Windows 10
Justin Green
>Holy fuck!
>Windows 10 was really designed in Excel ?
Nope. Powerpoint.
Jordan Jackson
Who cares. Design is change for changes sake. It's like fashion now, controlled by a bunch of limp wristed fags.
Owen Jackson
I really hope we will get some kind of wireframey / FUI stuff soon. And even if we do not I'll just rice my shit til I get this on all my machines.
But to go to this kind of UI trend we'll need to get rid of all current UI designers, they almost all design minimalist low density shit. we'll need to get back to utilitarianism while still being somewhat minimal. In other words we have to get rid of most of bloat and empty spaces in out current UI.
Jacob King
something simpler than this
maybe just squares and triangles and circles
Kayden Turner
we're quite there already
Nathan Moore
On the contrary, Windows 10 looks like bootleg KDE. KDE5 was out long before the previews of Win10, and it still looks better.
Gavin Cruz
Fucking hell, it's like someone looked at bitmapped icons from Win9X and decided to suck the soul out of them.
Ian Rodriguez
>Windows 10 looks like bootleg KDE
IIRC that's not the only case of this, I think Windows' Aero happened after KDE became glossy but I might be wrong
>looks better
They both look really clunky to me, but Windows less so, even though it's less conisitent
Blake Thomas
Eventually icons will look so abstract that they're like cuneiform
Angel Peterson
if they could make all windows transparent and layered then you could use the affordedge modularity to stack information in a way that would look and feel cool, I remember they were trying to make modular hardware too but that clearly didn't show enough promise
Elijah Richardson
Round Design.
It's like flat except everything is circular
Chase Jackson
Why did XP look like it was made for literal toddlers?
Ian Parker
Honestly no idea what they were thinking with that. The weird primary colors design is just awful and looks like dogshit compared to the classic windows design.
I'm assuming they did that because they thought it'd appeal to consumers more if it looked more "colorful and fun" and that the classic windows design is "corporate and reminds me of work xD" or some shit.
Carson Peterson
Josiah Campbell
awful
barely resembles xp
looks like lipstick on a pig
Oliver Ortiz
Thing is, the beta versions of Windows XP had a different style to them, closer to flatshit of today, but not as bland. Why they didn't go with it is beyond me.
Jaxon Cruz
it's nice but it really needs borders
Michael Bell
Those icons and fonts look like trash.
I thought we already had 1080p crt monitors in the 90s, why was this even acceptable?
Adam Sanders
> I thought we already had 1080p crt monitors in the 90s
Pretty much no one had them at the time.
Gabriel Hughes
xp beta glassified
so much SOUL
Cameron Clark
looks pretty awesome, what is your problem?
Oliver Carter
It did, but the drain upon computational power was not worth the UI eye-candy, perhaps one reason they severely toned down on the transparency in later versions.
Jaxson Walker
windows 7 > all
Eli Long
>people actually like aero now that its outdated
kek
Blake Ward
Windows vista has been developed almost simultaneously alongside OSX, and both design themes have been inspired by web/HTML design, as well as previous themes that were available on windows XP. I remember even a theme that made windows XP look like macOSX, but not the other way around.
Asher Cox
>outdated
nice spook, subhuman
Jack Williams
>The colour scheme and transparency actually look decent
>curved edges
into the thrash it goes
Easton Foster
You mean windows NT/2000 theme.

i wish a day like that would come
Henry Perez
don't tell me you actually like default aero, it's a crime against design and aesthetics
Brandon Roberts
go to hell zoomeroid
Daniel Morales
just use xp, it's still very usable in this day and age and if you need to use any newer software just dual boot it with a newer os
Ian Rodriguez
It has charme though, like a futuristic oldtimer car from the 60s.
Matthew Miller
the flatshit desgin looks pretty awful indeed but the transparency makes it look a little less worse
Jaxon Johnson
remove yourself from the gene pool
Ryan Gonzalez
windows xp>windows vista>windows 7
Carter Thomas

At the moment Whistler was still barely any different from Windows 2000, so most of the UI was still the same. I think it would've ended up looking like if it was actually finished.
Isaac Barnes
Why was Windows 2000 replaced so rapidly? It was around for like a year before everyone jumped ship to XP. I always thought it had the superior design.
Joshua Gray
steam icon?
Juan Brown
>too dark
>too much contrast between the background elements
otherwise its fine and I like that background
Bentley Phillips
See, I REALLY like this, and I loved the Whistler theme.
