 Modern UI designers seem to struggle with one simple idea: constrained space along an axis. On mobile, horizontal space is constrained, but vertical is plentiful. Don't place multiple text views next to each other when they contain a potentially long str... Just don... On desktop, it's the reverse. Screens are wider than they are tall, and various system/browser panels already eat into the available height. So a fixed header on a desktop website is never, ever a good idea. 3 comments
And also all those "gesture helpers" that need to burn in hell. Why is there this downward chevron eating into the width of the notification? To solve what exactly? Would people not know to swipe down on a notification to expand it? Gestures are meant to be intuitive. Swiping down is intuitive enough. The new notification layout takes up the same area, but fits a lot less information. The app name is gone. The sender is combined with an already crowded top line. And that atrocious chevron, yes. This atrocity isn't new either — it's already there in Android 11 in messaging notifications. |

(besides, the Android 12 update itself is just plain superfluous — I'm staying on 11 for the time being, thank you very much Google, now go fuck yourself and especially your designers)
