  Kinda reminds me of Windows Aero, but with Grey as your main colour.

    That example photo is with the icons set to white (or similar). By default the icons are still colorful. They showed it off during WWDC and it looks mostly good.

    Wait what would you call the main color of aero?

    • Stovetop@lemmy.world ⁨2⁩ ⁨months⁩ ago

      Users could choose their own color scheme, default was a light blue.

        Oh yea I forgot about that! I miss that. (The color selection, not the….everything else lol. Well, maybe the widgets too.

  I’m on the fence, it’s nicer than material design (I’ve always hated ‘material design’ though) but it’s so colourless.

  Bring back skeuomorphism!

    At least material design is readable.

      Actually, in the latest beta, they reduced the glass effects.

      In case you missed it, find an iOS beta 1 video and see how they are rendering photorealistic light reflections on the glass UI…

      Yeah, the white text on white backgrounds look pretty but is just not that easily readable.

  Yep, when every app has a gray color, it’s much harder to find what you’re looking for on the screen.

  Google committed the same sin when they made every one of their apps have the same four color look - now I can’t easily find the one app I’m looking for.

    Which red, blue, yellow, and green icon on a white background are you looking for?

    solution is to not use any of their apps

    The lack of color isn’t the default, it’s an option (an evolution of one that already have). By default everything is still colorful.

      shh don’t spoil the apple hate circlejerk.

      “Apple doesn’t give users enough choice!”

      “ew, why would they do that???”

  I’ve set my Android to the Glass icon pack. It kinda looks okay if the background is very blurry and featureless. Try setting a busy vacation pick as backdrop and you won’t find any of your apps again unless you set the icons to a size normally reserved for the visual impaired.

  Always, but it won't stop people from flocking to upgrade and copying it, and within 3 years it'll be filtering into Android and Gnome-first distributions will probably make it the default theme.

  I’m on the beta. And I started hating it, then went to disliking it to simply not preferring it.

  Being in beta, they are still making tweaks. I think, somewhat unexpectedly, the final build will be kinda nice.
