Black text on plain white? Really? A four year old can recreate the same thing in MS Paint in like 5 minutes with zero UI design experience.
TEXTNOW FOR MAC LAPTOP MAC OS
The next year its “lets all go back to Mac OS 9 and Windows 3.1 era style GUIs because it can’t get any better than this”. It was a time when functionality and productivity met with elegance and beauty and they worked hand in hand seamlessly together. Lo and behold I booted the old iBook up after watching the conference and at that point I decided that Yosemite was just Tiger with shittier icons and UI design choices.ĭid I miss a memo going around the tech industry that states that everyone needs to make their UI flat and boring and look like utter tripe? We took so many years to perfect and evolve the UI to where it had gloss and polish and it looked really good.
I have an old iBook G4 I boot up every once in a while for nostalgia and when I saw the new design for Yosemite I had a feeling I had seen that dock before. I’m glad I’m not the only one who felt like the new dock looks like it came straight from Tiger.
The FLAT dock and simplified icons are not only a step in the wrong direction, they’re SEVERAL steps backwards. I installed the 10.10 beta to a flash drive. Something else I’ve noticed: is it just me, or does Apple use a different theme on-stage during a keynote than what actually ships in the beta right now? The transparency and colours pop way more during the keynote than while using the beta. The two biggest issues to me are one, that text input fields and buttons are not visually different, and two, that neither of them get any mouseover effect whatsoever – both cursor and button/input fields remain exactly the same. We’re in beta, though, so that’s just fine. I’m definitely pleased with the design direction Apple is taking OS X into, despite the fact that as it currently stands it’s clearly still in flux.
I am looking forward to exploring other design changes in the the new OS that I may have missed. Using the new OS feels fresher, exciting, and more modern. No ultra thin fonts, no crazy parallax, no ridiculous icons, just subtle use of translucent materials accompanied by a bright and cheerful palette. It demonstrates a more mature and subtle approach in adapting iOS 7 design language.

There are still many rough edges in the new OS but overall I am really excited about the visual direction that Mac OS X Yosemite is taking.
