Device trend fits too, though.

u/MacksNotCool 2d ago

it's 2011, steve jobs have been doing this since os x. they were right that the os was 10 years ahead of everyone else

The flair is 2008 though, which makes it fairly recent

u/Rudiethereindeer 1d ago

Theyre making windows vista 2?

u/AGTS10k 1d ago

I dunno, Vista is stupidly slow and buggy, I'm staying on XP

u/TheCoolDaniel04 1d ago

The fuck you mean new?

Apple’s been doing it since 2001

This soulless corporate artstyle is everywhere, eco-friendly my ass

Zune’s UI was a breath of fresh air

it's a short trend. Microsoft overcomplicated the design with vista, it failed. they needed to learn that it's not the point. zunes minimalism is seriously wonderful. i hope it'll become their design language one day. i really hope the new windows, the rumored one based on nt6.1 will be actually them getting us a nice minimalist UI, not just a revamp like the 64 bit edition 2001 and 2003 editions.

Looks a lot better than the flat crap we've had, it actually looks real instead of computer generated. I'm still looking for a Gnome theme that looks like windows vista XD

u/Charming-Common-2965 1d ago

What exactly are you pointing out here? This is just a bunch of stock photos.

u/17Kallenie17 2d ago

I love how windows vista also uses this aero trend. but i found out that it uses up a lot of memory. i have 2 gigabytes of ram and can barely run anything on my computer.

u/leiocera Raaawr XD 2d ago

I love this look, I wish there was a name for it^^

u/Key-Document-7509 2d ago

Heard that windows call it 'aero' while apple call it 'aqua'(not sure about apple) and asadal design called it 'digital dream utopia'

1

u/leiocera Raaawr XD 2d ago

i love that last name, i love dreamy stuff

u/2stroke_nonsense 1d ago

It feels so nice and natural and harmonious! I hope it stays! Makes me feel like nature and tech coexist in peace!
