Begging

Just absolutely BEGGING developers of Linux applications, desktop environments, whatever:

Please recognise that "Liquid Glass" should be treated as a cautionary tale to be avoided

Do you want to give your users eye strain?

Because as someone with astigmatism, I'm just looking at screenshots of that bullshit and my head hurts already

Spicy UI take:

I want to be able to easily see the UI elements on my computer so that I can interact with them

Even if I have imperfect eyesight

So like

Opaque buttons and windows and scroll bars of a reasonable size with sharp edges so that my eyes can focus

I don't want the UI elements to disappear or blend in or for whatever is in the background to be visible through them

I need them to be easily visible because my eyes are shit

Thanks

Apple or designers or whatever: "All those things that make your computer usable? We made them subtle and disappearey and took away the borders and make them slide away unless you mouse over them. They get out of the way of the ~content~ you see."

Me: "I need my computer to work on it, I don't just dick around on the internet all day."

@dat This is why I stopped using GNOME

There's no way to make any of their devs understand that their design philosophy gives me eye strain
