The hashtag ‘iOS26 Ugly’ was microblogging app Weibo’s top-trending topic on Tuesday, as thousands of netizens expressed their discontent.

      Not Apple fans though. They can’t wait to use their new Vista!

        Aqua, an OS X theme from before you were born

          I thought it couldn’t get better when System 7 had color support. It was such a revolution. Then Aqua came along and everything changed. Liquid Glass looks pretty nice to me but I’m mostly just glad we’re getting dimension back. Material flat UI is a stain on the world.

            I think there was some sort of color support prior to System 7.

            kagis

            https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Macintosh_II

            System 6 includes QuickerGraf (originally QuickerDraw), system software used to accelerate the drawing of color images on the Macintosh II.

            Hmm. Apparently System 4 had color support, which is earlier than I expected.

            https://www.reddit.com/r/VintageApple/comments/1bsttma/why_did_apple_wait_so_long_to_implement_color/

            …it wasn’t until two years later in 1987 that Apple introduced color with the release of the System 4 & the Macintosh II.

            Here’s a photo of a IIcx with a color display:

              They’re going for X with L-aqua-d Glass, but look at 7, so brutalist chill

            I share the same feeling. The flat lifeless interfaces need to go.

        Get the fuck outta here with that! Any red blooded microphile knows XP was PEAK windows experience. The lower opacity of windows in Vista was a bright spot in an otherwise disgusting experience.

          XP was “the Linux” of Windows releases… 🤘

      Yeah, I used to be a typical Apple fanboy circa 2010, always watching the WWDC like I’m going to church.

      Keeping up with Apple over the past several years has been very hit or miss, and watching it yesterday just kind of pissed me off.

      I just checked the Apple website and it doesn’t really look any different to me.

      I can see there are changes, but I don’t even know if the average user will really notice it.

        Almost certainly they won’t. But yeah, you’re ruining the joke.

        Did the same thing the other day, there’s like some minor icon redesigns? Otherwise this mostly seems like people made up stuff.

          I saw some things in the videos, but I guess I don’t really care about design too much. So maybe that’s why I don’t care. I’ll have to ask my wife what she thinks.
