@eniko How about further back? Flat actually can look good when it's the right balance IMO. Windows 2000 and XP with themes disabled still was one of the best looking GUIs to my mind. (9x/NT4 too, but I feel like 2000/XP hit the peak of what that sort of design could do with a bit more color and such.) Simple, clean, very flat, but not quite too flat.
I do very much like minimalism though. I'm using a pretty flat style today even though KDE is very customizable. It's very hard to get just the right balance, but also I really really want dark themes now that I actually can do it and things work right. (If you set Windows to a dark theme back then a lot of stuff would ignore theme settings and give black fonts on a dark gray background or etc...)

@eniko Only on the classic theme (which was really the Windows 2000 look). After that it went to shit fast.

@nazokiyoubinbou @eniko The Windows 95-2000 UI is an example of doing a lot with very few pixels but they're still very dimensional and not intended to be "flat" in the same way.

Projects! Justin cannot stop doing projects. He built a gym.

@GustavinoBevilacqua naaa, probabilmente vista l'origine e la destinazione è tutta stoffa di plastica
e quindi acerba. indubbiamente acerba.

@sixohsix cursed ++ (it was leftover soup that had been re-heated one time too many)
the taste was that of the season vegetables soup, however, so it was still good :)

Al di là del mio sfogo, è davvero difficilie, ora, cambiare scenario in un attimo. Andava fatto prima.
Quello che però mi fa arrabbiare è che neanche di fronte a catastrofi di questo tipo riusciamo a ragionare insieme su un "poi", sul fatto che se non agiamo sin da subito domani saremo ancora schiavi delle tecnologie altrui.
In soldoni: capace che domattina la Groenlandia non sarà più europea e in ufficio io uso ancora Word.

Some #FLOSS developers are taking all the wrong lessons from #Apple. Remember when in response to the #AntennaGate #SteveJobs came out saying it was «no issue», just «the users holding it wrong»?
If a growing number of your users complain about a particular aspect of the UX of the software you wrote, this is not *harassment*, regardless of how many technical excuses you may have for the poor UX.
