Aerochads we fucking WON. Plasma 6.7 is gonna bring back the Oxygen and Air themes. The age of soulless flatshit is coming to an end.https://www.neowin.net/news/kde-is-bringing-back-the-oxygen-and-air-themes-heres-what-they-look-like/
It looks tacky. Frutiger Aero faux nostalgia is for zoomies who never used a computer that wasn't a macbook or a chromebook
>>108573117I guess it's cool? I don't have any nostalgia for aero though.
>>108573117KDE wonning!? Ebussy completely BTFO!?Wtf is even happening anymore!?>>108573137First computer i touched had windows 95 or 98 with DOS educational games that looked like they were programmed with BIOS subroutines>>108573154Like it or not it people think of it like they thought of xp during the 7/8 era
>>108573137Which Macbooks/Chromebooks came with Windows 7?
I don't want this, I want pic related
>>108573172None which is precisely why it's manufactured nostalgia.Using XP and 7 all I wanted was something else than the default. It got me into shit like visual themes, replacing shells and fucking with system files just for that reason. A lot of people liked the ricing part of linux.
>>108573117https://gitgud.io/aeroshell/atp/aerothemeplasma you can already make kde aero
>>108573137FpbpEvery single Linux distribution I’ve ever seen, even Mint, looks like a Ditto that can’t complete its transformation. It’s so fascinating. Ununtu seems to be the only one that has some semblance of its own DNA.
>>108573194>which is precisely why it's manufactured nostalgiaRight, because people born from 1995-2005 never saw a computer once in their lives until 2011, when the original Chromebooks launched. For the first 6 to 16 years of one's life, the zoomer simply never saw a computer, and would have had no exposure to non-flat GUI's.
>>108573117looks like shit but it's pretty cool that they're giving Oxygen some attention again
>>108573117Oxygen is one of the ugliest themes I've ever used.
>>108573117Why the fuck is it floating and taking up space?
>>108573543a e s t h e t i c s
>>108573175Chromium looks kinda weird with that extra titlebar.
>>108573543Take the tampon out of your pussy. /g/ is the only place I've seen anyone bitch about the floating taskbar on Plasma. It looks fucking cool and it clamps back down to the bottom when your window is maximised anyway. You can turn it off entirely if it makes your vagina hurt. And a 40~ pixel tall taskbar is what Windows has had since 7.
>>108573137>>108573194>>108573282Yeah I was born in 2003 and I can even remember using Windows XP for a while; though most of my childhood I was on Windows 7. Call it nostalgia if you want, but it's far from manufactured. I remember a few of my friends and I hated 10 when it came out. Most of us stayed with 7 as long as we could, then got into Linux.
>>108573117Anything that's not flat is an improvement.
>>108573884let me guess Brazil?
>>108573884I was so horrified by Windows 10's telemetry that I tried switching to Linux in 2015 and gave up because it wasn't ready for gaming back then. But I decided then and there that I would never use Windows 11, hence I'm on Fedora KDE today.
>>108573117OH MY....1111 OH MY FRICKED DOOOOOOOG POGER IM POGGING SO HECKING FRICKING HARD RN OMGGGGGGGGGGGGGGGGGGGGGGGGGGGGGG *CUMS*
>>108573137>STOP LIKING THINGS THAT I DO NOT LIKE!!!Take it easy.
>>108573543calm down, you can disable that with a setting
>>108573117Ebussybros... they told us there was no usecase for this kino... now we're mising out.
>>108573934>I like what gets spammed 24/7reminder that NPCs will NEVER be able to download a personality
>>108573117What's the point if UI is completely different, also KDE is million times more bloated, it runs completely on shitty widgets.
>>108573884>I was born in 2003Underage b&
>>108574073Anon I…
>>108573982I like what MS took from us with Windows 8 you retard.
>>108573982>Aesthetics are how I make decisions about everything. Why does it matter that someone likes something that you do not? Like how hard is it to not download a theme?
>>108573137idk, i kinda liked windows vista aesthetics.
>>108573117How can everyone fail at forking win7 looks? Literally nobody did this well. And it's not like teh original was a masterpiece. More like just ok, decent.
>>108573117That's just a fucking wallpaper with bubbles.
grossfucking hell how many years of blur has it been already?
>>108574192It's not simple because of1. Padding2. Applications that have their own weird decorationsYou can't just make Dolphin look like Windows explorer, for example.
>>108574192It reminds me. There was a time when Microsoft did a logo so good, Google stole it (for the repackaged open source browser they called Chrome and turned into a spyware).
>>108573117>Aerochads we fucking WONGNOME had a theme 16 years ago for this. you fuckers lost alreadyhttps://www.gnome-look.org/p/1014358/
>>108574249What is hard about padding? Look at win7, look at KDE. KDE lacks padding. Literally. You can't point your mouse at active elements easily, it takes way more effort. In win7 they have more padding and less problems even. Although scaling for large res was not good, but it was no designed for that, so it's a flaw caused by age, not pre existing since release, like it is with KDE.And do you remember how unhinged apps became in terms of design after Microsoft switched out WinForms for WPF? Compare office suite 2003 and 2007. Or 3rd party software like adobe's. It became sooooo good looking since win7 and WPF. Maybe did not age very well, but it was good.And Dolphin was shit and is shit. Rows in the left side bar are so narrow it's hard to click them. Rest of it's UI feels overcomplicated while solving no new problems.
>>108574285Nigga what the fuck is that taskbar?
>>108574319looks better than OP's trash
>>108574336The one in the OP actually has a superbar, and a transparent one at that.
>>108574192Really, the only flaw to aero imho was the black text in the titlebar. Little hard to read at times. That and not having a dark mode. It's pretty impressive how resilient Windows 9x theming can be. This looks awesome on a 1080p screen.
>>108574318turn your mouse sensitivity down blud
>>108574318I'm not sure what's hard about it but these people are not really into consistency.I think the problem is there's just no good UX people over these projects. They just grab the first motherfucker. >>108574348I liked it a lot because of how customizable it was without breaking a single fucking thing. This was my shit. I want this back, not the fucking aero glass.
>>108574370>I think the problem is there's just no good UX people over these projects.this is a problem in every FOSS project, they all look like trash because they don't have a good designer who actually knows good UX/UI
>>108574370Exactly! It was really customizable and didn't break shit. If only we could have this back.>>108574381It's kinda bizarre, isn't it? You'd think someone out there gives a rip about how Linux looks. But maybe they all are content with Windows/Mac and need nothing else. I know I see no incentive to get involved with Linux.
>>108573117Its called Aero you fucking zoomie pest
stupid faggot zoomer
>>108574429"Aero" is Microsoft's specific design language from the late 2000's.
>>108573543OLED care, so the bottom bar doesn't burn in on an OLED screen.
>>108573117KDE looks like windows 95 no thanks, now its going to look like those shitty windows xp transparent overlays which then windows vista appropriated, again, no thanks
>>108574528why would anyone use an OLED monitor, so retarded
>>108573117I never liked fruitnigger aero but I have to admit they nailed it and I got a wave of nostalgia. I have a feeling that zoomers will flock to this and microsoft will (poorly) copy the style for windows 12.
>>108574562I use a portable 16" OLED that cost me $275 or so. It's like using a laptop. I got monitors above it. Great setup for me.
>>108573117I'm still on 5.27
>>108574656Distro?
>>108574674OpenSUSE Leap 15.6
>>108574682Based, how much longer will it get support?
>>108574708I have no ideaI heard they removed Yast from the later versions, so I'm sticking to this one until SteamOS matures and gets released.
>>108574485Which that screenshot is clearly trying to emulate, "frutiger" is a non-thing.
>>108573117aero at home
>>108573117>It still looks like shit>It will still Krash
>>108574845Just like Windows 7!!!
>>108574821>clearly trying to emulateNo, it was the general style of the time and Microsoft didn't invent it.
no one has really noticed but in windows 11 Microsoft has been slowly adding more and more subtle transparency so its really coming back
>>108574192Windows 7 is SOVL
>>108574845Post beef.
>>108574999his laptop will be old enough to drive in 2 years
>>108573117It's all just glassy though. Where's the metallic look of Oxygen?
rape all aero and glass niggeroids
>it's yet another thread where hyperconsumerist goycattle pine for the most gay and corporate designs of yesteryearWhen you fags start worshipping flatshit in a decade I'm going to blow my brains outI blame CARI for enabling this retardation
>>108575662I hated flatshit from the start and I've been waiting for this day. Go fuck yourself.>t. the first thing I did with my Windows 8 laptop was rice it out with a Windows 7 theme + Classic Shell
>>108574319>>108574336>samefag pretending his shit doesn't look like dogasskeep larping
>>108573117I'm liking that calendar
>>108575853Replying to the wrong Anons? One guy boasted about a GTK theme and the other said it looked like shit.
>>108575662>When you fags start worshipping flatshit in a decade I'm going to blow my brains outwhy wait
>>108573117I love flatshit. Looks nice enough and doesn't drain my battery for bing bing wahoo frosted glass effects.
>>108573117"Designers" are retarded hurd animals. Fashion trends are so fucking stupid, I've been using linux since 2005 and this screenshot looks like it could have been taken in April 2006 exactly 20 years ago. I hate these stupid dumb trend following soulless assholes, like "ohhhh this is so cool now, the fashion from last year is so uncool now, now we've got something cool and new (rehashed shit from 20 years ago, except done worse) we're so cool and original and expert designers for coming up with this (rehashing vista style after 20 years because apple made it COOL again with Liquid Ass) tl;dr you need a designer in the loop.". The same retarded animals who decided that being able to see scrollbars is so totally uncool and forced flat shit on us for years
I already have S O V L
>>108574192there have been some packs for windows 10 customisation and aerothemeplasma is okay imo it is pretty decent but there are always some inconsistences in very obvious places
>>108576197Can you post a smaller image? I can actually read the text.
>>108576199if you guys couldn't tell aero themeplasma is linux btw sorry for not being clear
>>108576080pretty sure thats a lot of the reason we do not see this design anymore especially in operating systems. obv modern hardware is more than capable but ios 26 proves this
who careswhatever works
>>108576204
>>108573175You can theme KDE to look like macOS.
>>108576281It always looks like shit, no exceptions.To be fair though, actual macOS hasn't looked good in years.
>>108576256Thank you.
>>108573137>>108573169>>108573117>nooo you can't add options for people who like a thingwho hurt you? seek help.
>>108573117Niggerlicious.
>>108573543you can put it wherever the fuck you want on plasmaI think the default is floating to show people you can float it
>>108576292agreed. my fav was the macos 10-10.4 then the next cycle to mavericks after that it got boring and sloppy
>>108576292snow lepoard is my all time fucking fav though along with 10.4
>>108576292How about a classic Mac OS theme, then?https://github.com/grassmunk/Platinum9
>>108576080>doesn't drain my batteryOh yeah is that why computers need more RAM and higher CPU clocks than ever?
>>108576281Show a proper example of this
>>108576358That's XFCE
>>108573117Is picrelated supposed to be appealing? This isn't aero, this is flatshit with aero paint. It's like you took a screenshot of a flatshit design and then downloaded pngs of aero elements and photoshopped them over it. Why the fuck is everything padded by half a mile? Why are the icons like 2px? Everything about this is obnoxious.This is the just like the "Oh my science we're going to be roleplay as a functioning UI and copy Apple's thing where if you wiggle your mouse the cursor gets big" but the trannies in charge didn't realize they can't scale a PNG. It just shows that no one in charge actually knows how to make a UI.No one's going to use this, some tranny's going to post it on Reddit, get a few updoots from it and subsequently 41% himself after someone calls out how shit it is.
>>108576524>this is flatshit with aero paintno wonder it wasn't clicking with me, yeah
>frutigerdid I hop timelines? I don't remember people using this name for aero
>>108576628It's a neologism
>>108573172NTA but I think he's saying they're nostalgic for it because they never actually used it as a real UX, they just see it on TikTok and places like that
>>108573175FUCKS O V Lperfectionthis is what they took from us ;-;now macOS has become Desktop iOS
>>108573117IT'S NOT THE SAME
>>108573137It's much better than the sovless shit every OS uses today
>>108574029the widgets are fine and makes customization really easy. what's the issue?
Looks like a cheap chink knockoff of Windows 7.
>>108573117Total KDE Viktory.Zoomers will see this and ditch Windows for any distro sporting it.
>>108573117> Everything transparent is AeroClassic NPC perception. No ability to actually see, you are like an LLM hooked up to a separate vision model.
>>108573117Love that shit.
>>108573117call me a boomer but i do love it
>>108573117>FRUTIGER AEROnobody called it frutiger aero. it was just aero. where the fuck does this frutiger come from? is it some zoomer thing?
>>108576524Yep. Totally agree.I’ve yet to see a really good looking Linux distro
