For any person who wants to do some layouts on macOS and maybe wants some guidance or examples… I made my own guidelines that are actually concrete. None of this stuff that leaves too much for the imagination that you stray away from making your app feel truly #Macintosh. I haven’t finished everything about #macOS #UX design but here’s a start at least.#HIGhttps://marioaguzman.github.io/design/layoutguidelines/
@marioguzman Everything about this stinks. From the centred text, to the overloaded title bar, to the wack-as-hell label/placeholder bullshit, to the misaligned margins (yeah, I saw those).How are these people paid so much damned money?!?
My therapist immediately recognized my Mac OS X Tiger window controls t-shirt from @louie. She was like… “wait let’s pause here bc I have to ask… are those the old Mac window buttons on your shirt? That’s sooooo cool!!!”https://cottonbureau.com/p/5KJDNA/shirt/aqua#/20574333/tee-men-standard-tee-premium-heather-tri-blend-s
@marioguzman how crazy was it that the non-public betas just had a ho-hum darker grey OS9 look, then BAM!!! Jobs rolls this out on stage. Sofa king wild!!
@marioguzman @512pixels I mean prettymuch that.We like to think of our computers and especially our pocket-devices as very personal. That they just shoved stuff onto it without consent was seen as a gross personal violation. Emailing everyone (a commonly understood gateway for comms) and giving folks a free promo code would have been the right choice.
@jackbrewster @jimluther @marioguzman my solution is to never upgrade to an OS I’m not paying for. I’ve found the quality level to be too poor to be worth my time.
@marioguzman fuuuuuuuuuuck. I have a test phone with the beta that I basically don’t touch unless I have to. I’m gonna hold on to my real phone with ios 16 forever.
