See I like rounded corners. Give me a couple pixel’s worth of a radius and I’m happy.
Giant bubble boxes I do not like. When four corners meet, there should hardly be a noticeable gap in the corners; anything more than that is too much.

See this is my main gripe with modern UI systems. Liquid Glass, One UI, and especially Material You all suffer from the giant, unnecessarily rounded boxes and buttons with tiny text trend.
I’m all for having a click target, but do I really need 48px of padding on a 12px font? Material You is the worst offender imo. I love GrapheneOS but god I hate the Material themed UI.
It’s like the UI equivalent of that awful art style, “corporate Memphis” I think. I almost vomit every time I see it
Oh no I had blocked that from my memory lol
I’m getting corporate training webinar flashbacks
It’s better than missing the button entirely, but in general that can be solved by not putting a clickable zone directly behind it.
No more algorithms! Quicksort? Banned. Sieve of Eratosthenes? Banned. Djikstra’s? Super banned!
If you even mention a red black tree, you’re the one that’s gonna be red and black, son.
I want buttons with the fake 3d bevels on the edges, I want a scroll bar I can actually see and move my mouse to, I want a contrasting border around windows, I do like mouse pointers that get big when you jiggle them.
Oi, hands off rounded shit, I love it. It looks smooth and organic and is pretty great!
Animation is 50/50. If it’s there as a tasteful addition, sure. If it’s there to help accessibility, sure. If it actively hinders my ability to use stuff, takes long or is required for stuff to work, GTFO.
My current dark horse of the UI dark patterns is Miro (diagramming collaboration tool). They added a pop-up to advertise their AI connectivity tools (of course! What else could a tech company force on users right now?). It has animated icons that distract you until you close it… but you can either agree or select “Remind me later” and once you click that… The pop-up doesn’t disappear. The text changes and shows you the progress bar “this is how long you need to stare at this pop-up, until it disappears”. Of course, the blinking icons distract you all the time. And all of this on the payid company account that I must use at work…
