When you create UIs, and you are not in a case where there is a customer to guide you, how do you decide what type of design the entire application should have? Are there any resources that help in the UI design phase? On windows>inb4 this nigga writes for windowsHow do you cope with the fact that you can't create custom windows unless you mess around with the shitty Win32API?
>>103225350I hate UIs so much. They're more work than the real functionality of the application.
>>103225479I agree, if it were up to me I would do everything in CLI, but the niggas who pay us want interfaces that consume clock cycles

>>103225558Yes, let's say that I took this for granted, but I'm more interested in the organization of everything, from the buttons to the information, how they should be positioned and etc...

>>103225650>W95>hipsterNailed it
>>103227126Yes but because it is a dead aesthetic for today's colorful times. It definitely gives a sense of solidity but it reminds me of WWI photos in terms of vibes
>>103225350you can read a bit of this. And then play with some WinUI3 exampleshttps://fluent2.microsoft.designthen some programmer 10 years down the line once windows 13 is released is going to hate you for using winui 3 which got deprecated 6 years ago has to upgrade the entire thing to the same spec which also includes doing some hacky shit because a certain something is fucking missing because some ux tranny at ms thought it was problematic and you just hate your life and the business wonders why it takes so long to do what visually looks like nothing
