@groxx@hachyderm.io @phl@mastodon.social @the_wub@mastodon.social @noheger@wien.rocks wow I didn't remember Windows 7 looking that good. Maybe Apple should've tried improving this design instead of whatever they've done instead.

@farshidhakimy@chaos.social @phl@mastodon.social @the_wub@mastodon.social @noheger@wien.rocks 7 was a bit over the top for the time, and it clashed rather awkwardly with old components... but yeah, it worked pretty well. I turned down the in-app transparency because it was sometimes too low contrast (but NOTHING like how bad Tahoe gets) but that's about it, it communicated what it needed to just fine and few minded.

@farshidhakimy@chaos.social @groxx@hachyderm.io @phl@mastodon.social @noheger@wien.rocks The Win 7 laptop I used at work had the Classic "NT4" theme. I have managed to avoid any of the later versions of Windows :) I have always found opacity in (G)UIs confusing. That and the relatively recent fetish of scroll bars that fade in and out. Neither of these "features" help me at all.
