Hey, I've got a great idea! How about light switches that disappear until you move your hand over them? Otherwise they're just invisible!
Great idea, right?
Then why did you do it to the SCROLL BARS?!

@wilhelm @CoMaps I feel like this is just a case of having written software long enough to know the hypotheticals.
"Oh why do users keep hitting back there and losing their settings? Obviously we should save by default."
or
"Everyone seems to be using this same feature 3 levels deep in the settings, lets move it up to the front page."
There are LOTS of random things #telemetry helps you improve in software if you're the type who cares about UI/UX.

It's no small thing, CSS can now do carousels natively, with no javascript.
"scroll buttons, scroll markers, scroll driven animation, scroll-state() queries, :has(), grid, anchor and so much more.
Even more impressive is the accessibility story.
Carousel best practices are handled by the browser, thanks to the engineering and accessibility teams working together. It'd be very difficult to make a more accessible carousel than this."

@jon It would appear I never posted here my design improvements for inOui. I sent it to the #TGV CM on twitter, just got a standard reply. It would *seem* TGV M and Oxygène EMUs will have a slightly better design but I fear it may not be enough. (haven't seen it in person yet)
**Everytime** I take a TGV, people sit in the wrong rows. It's usually not that big a deal, but the confusion and mild chaos are time consuming for everyone. With the occasional asshole that makes a whole fuss. #ui #uiux

We’d love your thoughts on the new layout!
UX designers (which includes nearly anyone developing front-end code, whether it's in your job title or not), remember that real people will have to use your interface. It will affect them. It can have a serious impact on their quality of daily life.

I really need the design team at Apple to think real hard when making new design systems.
Visually stacked items on the Z-Axis does not do you favors when it comes to a 2D display.
You can’t distinguish what elements goes with what view. #macOSTahoe doubles down on layering on the Z-axis more than ever before.
Both Apple and 3rd party devs now have to come up with fixes to address this mess. Like the new NSBackgroundExtensionView in #AppKit.

Just go back to earlier versions of iTunes. Ignore any ideas of it looking "outdated" — look how all the controls fit nicely on a full-window-width toolbar. Clearly labeled. You will NOT mess up here in using iTunes.
The ONLY thing to lose real estate is by resizing the window; not resizing any sidebars. *THIS* is good/standard design. How did we stray away from such basic UX?
That's the part I don't understand.
AND they used bottom bars too!!! Design that WORKS.
I know, I keep coming back to this. And this isn't about Liquid Glass...
I think we're in this awful state of layouts because of full-height sidebars and compressing the title bar into the toolbar.
Full-height sidebars do not aid in anything. They just serve to eat more of your toolbar space. When you mix that with combining the toolbar with the titlebar -- well you end up with no space at all...
I think this forced Apple Design to moving player controls to the bottom. #UIUX #macOSTahoe

Iconfactory BlogPeeking Through the Liquid Glass • The BreakroomApple’s new Liquid Glass design that was announced at WWDC25 is more than just a fresh coat of paint—it’s a signal. One that points simultaneously to the future of digital interfaces and to the past. We’re calling it neo-retro. Liquid Glass appears new and futuristic, yet somehow familiar—after all, the idea of translucent interface elements animating […]
New look alert!
The official swift.org website just got a full redesign and it looks fantastic.
Clean, fast, and full of great Swift resources. Worth checking out.
Did a little refresh of my online portfolio the other day and took the opportunity to upload a project close to my heart that sadly never got to the production stage: Circuits 2!
Would love to work in an audio-related game or tool again sometime. Such an interesting space.

Look how you can easily tell what is clickable... (and you WANT to click it too haha). Where did the modern designer lose their way? I will never understand...
When I look at this, it even looks * premium * -- like something you would definitely expect from a trillion dollar company.
It's far better than whatever the hell they're shipping these days...

A friend sent me this screenshot of FCPX running on OS X Mavericks:
1. Everything is compartmentalized; sections, subsections, content, tools
2. Clear on/off state for controls
3. Even with icons lacking color, they have detail; far clearer than SF Symbols could ever be
4. Buttons have borders; you can tell what is a button vs. symbol (representing a status)
This is what Dark Mode should have been; a "lights out" version of standard window chrome. Not just black.

The OG Macintosh Determinate and Indeterminate Progress Bars were fucking *chef's kiss*
Continued thread
The indeterminate progress bar from Mac OS 9 will always be my favorite… the barber pole style is classic Macintosh but flat designers at Apple killed the style for a more “Android OS” looking one. Lame.
A while back I recreated the Mac OS 9 progress bar with Core Animation (and indeterminate progress bar) but needed something to test them in. Heh… so I made a test bed that looked like the Classic Environment launcher from Mac OS X Tiger.
