>Muh minimalism
>Muh clean design

It looks good though.

I fucking hated that goddamn "shiny" phase everything went through in the 2000s.

Le minimalism le flat design is only a problem when people start applying it to logos and buttons and things, which is I assume why those people were slower. Muh minimalist solid colour buttons. Just give it a drop shadow and bevels or something at least.

But no otherwise solid colour superior design scheme.

no wonder, everything fucking looks the same in flatshit. what's the difference between a label, a body of text, a button and a hyperlink? according to flatfags, absolutely nothing.

>>62271302
well that describes material, which is shit.

what is desperately needed is a return to basic ui principles. consistency should be the rule, boundaries should be visible, and different types of controls (e.g. buttons versus tabs versus links) should be easy to tell apart. on platforms where tooltips are unavailables (touchscreens), text buttons or GOOD icons should be favoured over tiny 2-tone icons.

I am all for improving design, but not at the cost of user interaction.

I want my UI as uncluttered, functional, and easy as possible. Using all 4 billion colours is for my desktop wallpaper and multimedia. The UI itself should be clean and stay out of my way.

That's why I'm fine with flat. Some new fucking meme is going to take over soon and make it all look like cluttered shit again anyway. Transparency will probably come back, or things will start lightly pulsating and gyrating on the screen or some "innovative" bullshit.

This isn't an issue inherent to flat design, but to shit designers. How someone can be educated and paid to do just one simple common sense thing, yet fail so hilariously and consistently, is beyond me. No amount of bevels and shadows and texture and skeuomorphism could save them.

Nextstep was great. Look at that menu. You can put it anywhere you like, the menus that trigger a sub-menu are clearly labeled with an arrow, those that execute commands have their shortcut in the menu so you can learn them, and there are clearly defined high contrast borders between the items.

Flat is worthless. I agree. A decent interface has clear controls. Some people go too far and they don't even have borders or lines separating anything. The new youtube design removes almost anything but videos and comments and the sections aren't clearly separated, it's really crappy.

But nah keep thinking that design is for faggots and that all you need is something like Windows 10 (I feel bad for Microsoft for having to actually pay a person to do anything involved with the design, they actually should be paid for shitting up such an OS)

Default theme sucks, there's a lot of people who love the glass shit now, I can understand the appeal of classic themes but this is just being pretentious. You have to rice it otherwise why bother.

>Windows 8.1
People over here are going to dislike this opinion a lot but I think it looks quite decent and clean, despite the start menu being full screen and all. I Like the borders. It's not just too flat, elements are still fairly clear. I guess the whole ribbon UI thing pisses people off too

>Windows 10
The pinnacle of garbage. When it stopped being a beta it still felt like alpha. Really inconsistent, really simplistic, you notice they did not put effort on it and besides it's not exactly too pleasant to look at. They took the "flat" quite literally. And the worst thing is, unlike the previous 2 systems it keeps changing constantly and never being finished, and everytime there's a big update it breaks all of your shit if you happen to want to use a different visual style or something like that.

Using the start screen is faster than using the start menu though.

>>62280043
>using the mouse
just type say, "<mod4>notepad<enter>", it's faster

>>62280043
Can be fast if icons are well defined.

the post you responded to illustrated something that is being used quite frequently which is to try to make every icon a little bit more similar to the point they're hard to differentiate (colors are very important, but they do away with that notion because they think that people only remember shapes and everything else doesn't matter).

It's just easier to remember (and to quickly reach) a unique icon per application.

This looks so much better than OSX sierra. The flat little bubbles, for min/max and close, are so fucking flat. Here they look nice.

>>62280114
Thing is people could do that on 8.1 just fine, but they still complained about the start menu. If you don't want the animation and feel it's slow you could just disable it too.

When 8 came out I read somewhere that Microsoft claimed that most people they tracked rarely used the start menu in most cases, and I guess it all depends on what you use, but if you spend a lot of time using the same 2 to 3 applications, yeah, it might not be just that frequent. Specially when you have a desktop and a taskbar to pin programs on.

Using the keyboard is faster than both though. Just type like three letters of the name and press enter.

me too, it was windows key plus something retarded like the i key to bring it up too

>>62280190
the complaint that i shared with many people was how jarring the start screen is, it drops you out of whatever youre doing completely and rewrites whats on your screen

flat design is just a by-product of the responsive web design trend
vector-based scalable interfaces work like ass on low resource devices, so they literally scrapped everything, to the point of looking stupid

Have you considered that people who use flat designs are actually mentally challenged and therefore are slower by default?

Hi, I wanted to drop in to mention that the new Youtube design makes me want to punch my fucking screen.
I never felt so infuriated by a design change.
Not even the last Youtube revamp...

>never had to operate in a productivity-intensive environment in his virgin life

My primary workstation is dual monitor, one is 27" 2560x1440 and the other is portrait 24" 1200x1920. Typically, I have between 5 and 20 windows open in various states of tiled and layered, and several of those windows (such as browsers and editors) can have from 5 to 20 tabs open.

Flat design is for fucking mongoloid retards that can barely manage two simultaneously open windows. When you have a desktop as busy as mine, it becomes impossible to distinguish between windows and applications within seconds and you end up thrashing around wasting time continuously trying to figure out which window is active, or which one you're trying to access.

Flat design is for smart phone kiddies, not workstation environments. I'm surprised they are only seeing a 22% drop in efficiency. I guess very little of their sample uses a workstation the way I described, because when I was forced to a flat design (Win10), my productivity probably dropped by 50% in pure wasted time.

Apple flat is still colorful and thematic. Windows flat is a lazy thoughtless design that anyone could have made.

Anyone use Google Cloud Services? Their website gives me cancer.

About time.
And if it wasn't enough, they made the icons monochrome.

>you know damn well that's not happening when downgrading is difficult
I use linux + windows 7 vms, and a win7 laptop.
What issues do you have with downgrading? Its not like its xbox where you literally cant downgrade without a jtag. Just put your files on a different harddrive and install whatever os you want. My win7 vm can handle everything including vr games (with the except for vr desktop because muh win10 desktop capture libraries)
>let alone asking normies to do it
My grandmother would still be on 98 if society let her. If I offered her swiss cheese xp she would accept in a heartbeat.

>every piece of new hardware you buy today comes with it
last I checked (years ago) you could buy laptops preloaded with ubuntu that cost less because there is no windows licensing involved. These laptops are not locked to ubuntu, you can install whatever you want including win7. There may be issues with >= kabby lake cpus because of the lack of drivers but that might not even be an issue.
