>mfw i see zoomers obsessing over "fruitiger aero"
>>109364320Frutiger aero is shit
Bitter assholes like you ruin everything. Let them have their fun.
>>109364320Vista looked better than everything that came after, souless frogtard.
>>109364320I have the same nostalgia for windows 98 and I just got one of these.
>>109364320DUUUUUUDE IS THAT FRUTIGER AERO?!https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=YSXqFgXhK8I
>>109364320>fruitigerwhen did people start to use this memeback in my days people only called it aero
>>109364821It was always just Aero."Frutiger Aero" was coined by a facebook group called "Y2K Aesthetic Institute" which rebranded itself CARI to sound more important. It then moved to discord. Apparently naming yourself "Institute" and creating fake citations through citogenesis is enough for wikijannies to accept this astroturfed reality.
>frutiger aero was so peak!!>**beaches exist** omg millennials were so obsessed with beaches >by the way, empty rooms and suburbs make me shit my pants and have a panic attackZoomoids are so faggy and lame it would be funny if it weren't so sad.
>>109364467The fake floppy drive is cringe and ruins it
I had to look this up and it's just default windows desktop wallpaper?
Frutiger aero never existed. It's an entirely made up aesthetic by taking certain aspects of XP and Vista era GUI design and massively exaggerating them
>>109365375This.It's a highly glazed perception of a past that was much more simple and low-resolution than these 4K glassy translucent animations.
>>109365388You're just describing what happens when an aesthetic is filtered through nostalgia, it doesn't have to make sense.
>>109364821this, I always read it as fruitniger which reminds me of candyassroodypooalso hyderabad or whatever that shithole is - hyperbad, which fits beautifully
>>109365375>Frutiger aero never existed....yet
>>109365023Make sure to import another 6 gorillion niggers that will beat you to death in the nursing home.
I'm a 40 year old millenial and I think flat design is the best, cleanest way of displaying shit on a monitor. Aero sucked, but what came before, the bulbous LOLSOFUTURE shit of the early 2000s was even worse
>>109364821>>109364976I guess "aero" is too generic in today's context: people wouldn't know you're trying to talk about a style and not a thinner/lighter phone or something.But yeah it was called "aero" and people understood what you were referring to back when it was actually used.
>>10936578945 and agree. Back then we didn't know any better, but aero and other shiny garbage hurts my eyes now. Modern flat designs like gnome / MacOS / WinUI, with transparency turned off where possible are far more comfy.
>>109365789I agree flat looks the cleanest but it was actually quite useful to be able to see how windows overlapped.Especially when you have a popup it's useful to see the main program underneath.The popup I'm writing this for example completely block the main thread making it harder to reference other posts.
