Aqua still is one of my favorite GUIs. It brought a sense of alive-ness whenever a window would pop up and the blue button would have a subtle animation to grab your attention but not fully distract.
@slob5041 8 ай бұрын
Aqua was the perfect point because it was still abstract enough to not mean anything, but vivid enough to be beautiful

Aqua feels like the perfect mix of realism, it's just subtle enough for you to appreciate it.

Ahh, so skeuomorphism isn’t simply “non-flatness” - it’s about referencing concepts to help us more naturally understand their functionality. Now I have a much better understanding of what the fuss is all about.
@thor.mukbang 3 жыл бұрын
I think that's a good way to frame it. Neumorphism maintains those references to real-world concepts, without relying solely on those concepts, to accommodate for design situations where there is no real-world counterpart.

It was actually so important - especially early on. People could only adopt computers and the new tech if there were metaphors used!

I kind of miss skeuomorphism sometimes. I found this video really fascinating because I never considered how making the apps look like their real world counterparts actually made them easier to understand from an outsider perspective. Sometimes it just looks so much more visually interesting than everything being flat. Unfortunately the modern world disagrees. That's why I'm hoping neumorphism starts to catch on and we start seeing some more interesting UIs.

I've always loved the skeuomorphic icons as a kid. In fact, when iOS 7 was released in 2013 when I was like 6, I hated it! I hated the ugly flat icons, the lack of realistic-looking things, all of it. I wanted the "3D look" back so badly. Unfortunately, as a kid, I never got to go back to that era of iOS. When I bought an iPod touch 5th gen just a few months ago and downgraded it from iOS 9 to iOS 6, I was hit so hard with nostalgia. The icons. The textures. The smooth animations. The look and feel. The semi-transparent status bar. The lack of anything flat and boring. Everything. It took me back. Back to an era when I was just a kid and there was nothing to stress about... nothing to worry about... no problems with school (kinda)... no constant asking of me to do chores... I want to go back. Unfortunately, this, and a few other nostalgic items, are the closest I can get to going back to my childhood, the golden years of my life. Thank you for taking the time to read this. Have a nice day!

The whole layout was incredible, I used to love the old skeuomorphism of apple devices and I am so glad they're (kind of) bringing it back. You have got me subbed and waiting for part 2 my friend.

This is one of the highest quality videos I have watched, and I was surprised that it was from a channel with only 334 subs. The new shift in the channel's content seems great, and its quality is on point. Without any fluff complimenting, keep what you're doing because it's great! Just wait until the algorithm skyrockets your channel to the place it deserves sooner or later

And I agree with the last part where you say Forstall proved software design doesn’t have to be boring - too true with today’s apps and operating systems :( but I’m looking forward to this neomorphism despite still thinking the traditional free-form macOS icons are better since they are arguably the most beautiful and recognisable part of macOS.

Hi Jerry, I almost never comment on KZfaq. I had to this time, though, because your content is simply superb. Not only is what you have to say richly researched and interesting, but your production value suggests you've got a dedicated team behind you (I'm guessing it's just you, though, and so hats off to an amazing job well done!). I sincerely believe that if you keep up with this you're sure to find additional viewers who will be as impressed as I am with your content. I've already sent this video to my wife and tech friend, and I'll likely spam other friends with it, too. It's that good.

I personally am a fan of skeuomorphism and miss the old way iOS and other Apple software used to look, I have been less than pleased since the new flat design was introduced a long time ago at this point...but I must say, the new MacOS design is a perfect mix between the fresh look that was brought about with the flat design-sense and the skeuomorphic feel of the past. I absolutely love the new MacOS design and would be extremely delighted if they brought it to iOS/iPadOS next. For the first time in a while, I will feel the way I felt using their products once upon a time. The rest of the experience using Apple products is still there, but I've missed the tangible skeuomorphic feel while consuming the UI.
