I don’t want rounded corners, transparency, shadows, animations, modern icons etc…
real
Rounded corners are ugly and a bit wasteful and it not being square sounds annoying for devs.
Transparency is ugly and less performant.
Shadows are sometimes nice (movable floating windows/popups, large boxes of any sort, and text on images) but otherwise not.
Animations are really annoying. The recent Firefox mobile UI update features even slower and more annoying animations. WHEN I OPEN A MENU IT SHOULD BE FULLY OPEN NEXT FRAME.
I don't really care about modern icons, but they should be coloured. Also old firefox logo better.
One of my only non-minor complaints about KDE Plasma is that I can't have the options that appear on the Global Menu panel widget (They're like macOS top bar app options) appear as part of the window decorations on each window instead. There is a button on the window decorations to access these options as a dropdown, but that's slower to use.
Also, there should be a mode between dark and light mode that has black text but doesn’t have a blindingly white background.
While I would still use dark mode if this existed, this would be a lot nicer than the blinding pure-white themes. There should, instead of light and dark themes, be white, light gray, medium gray, dark gray, and black themes everywhere.
A lot of so called "dark mode" should be called "medium mode" or "gray mode". In my opinion "dark mode" is where the main colour of backgrounds looks more black than gray. Also all borders should be high-contrast, preferably brightly coloured lines, or medium-contrast for low-importance borders, but never low-contrast borders or borders without a line where it's just a change in background colours.
This is a forum site intended as a FOSS Reddit alternative, so people who sign up usually do so because they know why FOSS is good, or because big tech (Reddit specifically) pissed them off. Knowing why FOSS is good and getting pissed off by big tech are also common reasons for switching to Linux.
