KDE Irixium theme (Kvantum-based), Irix firefox theme with piefed.social theme set to Irix too.

Love those thicc window borders, 3D buttons and real obvious scrollbars.

    As it always is, GTK and Qt apps look inconsistent. Also the panel icons look too modern. Other than that good even though I don’t like retro UI. 9/10.

    When there is one thing I hate about modern UIs is the lack of scrollbars. UIUX always talk about affordability but why do they stop there and ignore the humble scrollbar which signals that the content it is attached to is scrollable!?

      Everything about modern UI is about appearance over function. Is a window resizeable? No way to know because no windows have frames. Is that text a button? No way to know because buttons don’t have frames either.

      Every Modern app is clicking the screen at random until you learn the interactive elements.

        Well we had modern UIs with appearance + function. It was during the Frutiger Aero era (mac OS X, Windows Vista). But that got lost somehow, and that makes me sad :(

          I consider that a transition time, not Modern. Windows had frames but were more subdued than 1990’s style. Buttons were still distinguished from text.

          Yeah, it was probably peak UI.
