Additional glassification

[zevrix]

Ok, installed Golden Gate. Explored the UI changes. It's pretty much unbelievable. They really have lost their mind with this glassy 3D garbage there. Now they have even ruined menus.

I'm talking about this look:

This is so outdated, overproduced, uncool, cheap, forced, out of touch with reality, tasteless, ugly, heavy, pathetic, and otherwise idiotic.

It looks like if some kind of a "vintage skin" is applied to the UI.

It's repulsive.

And now we're going to be stuck with this garbage for years.

(Yes, I know this is only my own personal views.)

You came from Sequoia, didn't you? It's not much different than Tahoe.

 

[zevrix]

No I'm on Tahoe. The difference is huge.

It's not like Tahoe was particularly exciting.

But Golden Gate is just pure unadulterated garbage.

 

[chabig]

Interesting. Yours is the first comment of this type that I’ve seen.

I’m somewhere in the middle. I think GG is an improvement on Tahoe, but the changes only serve to create more dysfunction between many kinds of onscreen controls and window properties. Individually they are mostly okay, but together there is no cohesiveness.

There is something ironic about your screenshot containing a link to Apple's HIG. If only Apple understood that humans (as a whole group) do not change, and therefore interface guidelines do not really change either, we wouldn't be in this mess.
