I really liked it. It looks very clean and friendly. I can identify the ui elements with a glance. I know it is not modern and sleek and it doesnt look "gamer" at all, but function wise I think this is great.

So, even then, Half-Life 3 does not exist. It might be a constant element in the multiverse, like Harambe.

Don't even hate it. Wow. I'm gonna need 45min to lie down... NO, AN HOUR.

I want that as a real UI option 😶

Is Steam skin still a thing? I'm sure some cleaver smith can whip this up

I'm glad they went with dark colors in reality.

Ok, why is there an RSS feed button is my question.

Probably just for aesthetic to tease you. Then doesnt work when you click it. So business as usual, I guess... 🥲

I know a lot of people love this aesthetic but it was my least favorite era for the UI. At least the look of it anyway.
Interesting, this happened to be one of my favorite looks for windows. It came across as comfortable and professional without looking like plastic or feeling sterile. A comfy medium between dark and light mode, and the glass window decorations were a nice little touch. If you don't mind me asking, what was it that you didn't like? Not looking for beef, just perspective.
For whatever reason I just don't like the glass. I can see what people like about it. Mostly for me, I think it does look like plastic and it feels cheap. Which is weird cause I didn't mind Windows Vista when it released.
Office was ugly as all hell during these days, and everyone seemed to want to copy that "shine" the glass had and they sprinkled it on everything.
In the end, I never really grew attached to the design choices I grew up with, its not like XP was pretty either.
Nowadays Linux has made me a snob. If I can't customize everything I get upsetti.
Not the person you replied to, but for me it's not a happy medium, it's too far into the plastic-bubble aesthetic. Like a glassy, less colorful version of the baloony XP taskbar style.
Yeah I personally actually prefer when programs conform to the OS UI as long as the UI is decent (cough Windows 8), it looks a lot more uniform and cohesive
I agree for "tools". I'm fine with game libraries, media centers/players being a exceptions, IF the UI is done well.
I somewhat like it but could also never use it. My eyes would disown me.
