Liquid Glass is tacky (feddit.uk)

Liquid Glass feels like one of those tacky themes you’d download to a computer or Android phone, run for 10 minutes, then delete. I’m not some anti-change guy, I loved the flat UI when it came out, it felt sleek and modern yet professional and unpretentious.

It’s not the end of the world or anything, I don’t hate it, but my phone interface feels childish now where it didn’t before.

Yet, when XP arrived, it was dubbed “fisher price ui” Every ui change tends to irritate users.

    But it didn’t replace a particularly good UI that inspired pretty much every OS and website that came after it, and people still call XP a Fisher Price UI. My point is that successive UIs should be an improvement, this is a downgrade, it’s just change for the sake of change. It’s somewhere between the original iPhone UI and the flat one.

    Which I turned off for the standard Windows theme.

    And turned off Glass in Win7

    And run Open/Classic Shell on every version of Windows since, to get a usable start menu.

    And turn off all the shiny nonsense on my phone too.

    We still call Vista "fisher price".
