That looks like it would not pass the CE safety certifications here in Europe anyway.

Actually, I donโ€™t hate it. I imagine they would be useful in a touch first UI and as snapping handles regardless. They might be a little big as presented but I could actually see this working, especially as titlebar dragging space has been encroached upon by tabs and menus and such.

Be the change you want in the world, there is probably some KDE theming option that'll give you the look you desire.

...oh and I just came to the realization there is probably a way to make a SNES like UI and now it's time to research...

That's actually a lit idea and I'm going to make note of that for when I eventually launch my comics website which has been delayed multiple years due to competing uses of my and my collaborators' time.

I actually did do a little reading and they're just using SVG files. You can probably even import old sprite assets into inkscape. If I get the motivation and make a theme, I'll share it with the world. Lol

I like that one, too. But now I want to see if I can make it look like Earthbound or FFVI. Lol

Firefox and their dancing sausages, man. (this requires you watch a firefox ad somehow. I watched one in discord to get my dopamine).

To this day, I really love Windows Phone 7 - 8.1 visual and UX design. Very rectangle, love it. It's the best for mobile IMO. We should go back to when MS can still seem competent enough.

As someone with an interest in UI design, I have to reluctantly admit that this is actually a solid idea.

I turned on the explosion effect every time a window closes on my desktop. It's a fun bit of whimsy. Time to close a game? KABOOM! Closing Firefox for the day? KABOOM!

Because circles look bad at low resolutions.

Makes sense. Roundedness can already be used as a hierarchy, just expand the scale to pointy
