 Say what you want, but there’s something immediately obvious about aqua-style controls. They stand out. You can see what’s interactive and what’s not in an instant. You can see what’s expected from you Compare to modern flat design, where you have to look very closely just to understand what’s what and which parts you are supposed to touch That’s not progress 9 comments
 @nikitonsky Unfortunately, this happens all over the place. Here's Enlightenment DE. E17 from about a decade ago, and the latest version they show on their homepage right now.   @nikitonsky The modern one would be way more usable with the addition of some shadows, even the black-boxy kind @nikitonsky @avi it's the only demo old nerds watch on the regular that's forever trapped in aqua mode ;)  |

@nikitonsky I don't like aqua's aesthetics, but I cannot deny that it is really good UX.
