its so old its new. black is the new black. if you want to get ahead of the curve go back to space invaders pixelated look, TIA chip, 76 machine cycles per line, 192x160 CRT television. You will be the coolest kid on the block before we inevitably move back to the abacus.

Third-Party Mac Icons Reimagined in OS X Yosemite Style

I guess in Apple's reimagining of Yosemite, there are no crags.
Or peaks. Or slopes. No topography of any kind.
I visit Arn0 & Humex threads all the time to see their handy work. They do some really creative work. Kudos to them for their hard work and effort. Without ever asking for anything. Not everyone will like them, but keep up the great work Humex & Arn0.
I guess if you don't like them, then you just create your own or live with what is create by the developer.

Not a fan of all the icons being round. It just means that as soon as you have one that doesn't confirm the whole package looks ugly.
It's the same for third party apps on iOS when a developer follows a system. The whole page looks bad because not everything follows their system and it never will. iOS grid system in general fails for the same reasons. There will always be something that doesn't fit. At least pre-grid system when "nothing was consistent" nothing stood out like an eyesore either.

If I had my way thats how I would do it. Firework Icons? Oooh
bursting with life and fun. The *cough* was because I was being extravagant, just like how I buy my food skipping all the "Just the basics" and "Economy" brands which is how I feel the new OS design is heading.
I hate 'em, I hate 'em, I hate 'em!
Took 20+ years to get some nice 3D effects in OSs and Apps; Took only one year to take it all out. I guess that they simply ran out of ideas esthetically-wise

Another revolutionary innovating idea from apple! Just love how they keep improving their software.
Im tired of this kind of hacky, unoriginal and meaningless shadow that every "designer" loves to do so much.
I don't know. We've managed to differentiate iOS's square icons pretty easily over the years. I guess it'll depend on the image.
Yosemite isn't even all that flat, it just looks a little different. Most of the icons are still 3D and glossy.
I'm not a big fan of that 100% flat design though.

not if they're just coloured circles
At least with iOS prior to iOS 7 all the icons were 3D like and with cool image designs. Now they look plain and ****.
