Re: Just one thing left to make it good
The screenshot of the two control panels illustrates the problems with the Win 8/8.1/10 GUI.
The new settings app has flat, abstract, monochrome icons. The Win7 control panel has 3D, multicolor icons with transparency. I can glance at the Win7 one and see which icon I want, instead of looking at all the icons in the new settings app.
Why? because I'm used to it, or ---- because <b>making icons look like real things makes it easier for the brain to recognize them maybe?<b> A colored, 3D world with continents vs a circle with a few curves...
Abstraction makes the GUI HARDER to use.
I remember reading something funny about how Visual Studio 2015 will let me use Hi-Res icons
"Yes," I thought, "super hi-res! - as long as they only have two colours".
