Patrick Walton added,
Compared to contemporary flat design, though, the classic Mac UI at least had clearly-marked widgets with good contrast and information density
I kind of think of classic Mac OS as “flat design but with rounded rects drawn around the buttons”
But Mac OS always had prominent "trompe l'oeil" features, e.g. the grabbable window title bars. https://digiphile.files.wordpress.com/2010/01/finder-system-6.jpg …pic.twitter.com/Jk5o8XtXGb
Yeah. It’d be interesting to see a reboot of the classic Mac OS style, combining its functionality/ease of use with the aesthetics of flat design (which I do like).
macOS with Increase Contrast is pretty close
TIL that that’s a thing! It’s cool. A little less aesthetically pleasing to my eyes (which is probably why it isn’t the default). But probably with some tweaks it could be made to look really nice…
