This was the real peak.

>>58273681
why go on living?

It all went downhill after the GUI.

>>58273081
Mavericks really was the best looking Mac OS. It was still Aqua, but had years of incremental refinements and trial and error baked in. It had personality but still managed to be somewhat reserved. I wish I could make Sierra look like it – the modern flat look is muddy and uninspiring.

>>58273647
Tiger definitely comes second after Mavericks. Leopard futzed it up with the way-too-dark metal look.

>>58273672
Preferable to nondescript, mostly-blue blob icons.

>>58273682
It all depends on what you grew up with. I grew up using Macs, and so now Windows seems like a clusterfuck of a desktop environment to me. If macOS died tomorrow I'd be using a highly customized Linux setup, not Windows.

>tfw yosemite was the last os for mac customization

first evidence of a osx walled garden, but shiieet

>>58274318
Apple isn't directly going after customization. The OS, for the most part, is as customizable as before… if you compromise the system's security (disabling SIP). Deep customizability/hackability was lost as a side effect of making the OS more secure.

>>58274318
Those all look hideous though.
Mind you, I think apple should come out with some actual options so people can customize shit, but everything in that app was fucking abysmal.

>>58274318
>first evidence of osx walled garden

they've been walled garden ever since they stopped letting you install it on non-apple-certified hardware.
(eg: since ever)

>>58274436
>non-apple-certified hardware
You have only been able to do that since they switched to x86, before that it was all special hardware you dummy.

>>58273081
As someone who never used any Apple product I have to say this design is a nice balance between practicality and eye candy.

OSs these days, particularly mobile ones are just a shitpile of ambiguous icons because god forbid we use letters anywhere.

>>58275989
>OSs these days, particularly mobile ones are just a shitpile of ambiguous icons because god forbid we use letters anywhere.
And reasonable contrast and distinct, easily glanceable shapes are totally out of the question

if you can't make it in Illustrator in 3 seconds it's not fashionable

>>58274436
>ever since they stopped letting you install it on non-apple-certified hardware
You mean I shouldn't have been able to run Sierra in a VM? Or on my ThinkPad?
Oh, dear... so sorry. I didn't think there were any restrictions on the hardware except in the EULA.

3d and skeuomorphism is worse. Flat is bland if done badly, but it can be great too.

i have to agree with you, OP

i dont particularly enjoy skeumorphism, but the right amount IT'S GLORIOUS

the same happens with flat monochrome designs: it can work, but you have to avoid overdoing it

Those are just mockups.

You can install Windowmaker to make ubuntu look like a next workstation, mwm to make it look like an ancient X terminal, Trinity to make it look like KDE3 or 2, CDE to make it look like an old unix workstation and so on.
