We had transparent UI elements before and decided they were shit. Am I the only one still alive to remember?
When did we decide they were shit?
Well, they are quite bad from a UI/accessibility perspective. While looking nice and fancy, it can be difficult to read the contents and makes it harder to identify information. That's totally fine as an optional feature for those who like it, but the default should be a clean and easily accessible design.
The contrast is preserved if when a light theme is applied the text is black (because the background is usually bright) and vice versa but yes there should be an easily accessible option and that was provided by the non transparent aero theme.
I don't remember vista being bad because of the translucency
Na that was actually liked.being buggy, slow and having poor driver support at launch killed it. Windows 7 which was just polished Windows Vista was very popular.
Also they changed the permission model and introduced UAC, but it took developers forever to update and stop constantly writing to sensitive OS locations.
They still haven't done that in 2025, Windows file locations are by far the worst part of it as an operation system for an average user?
Is it in C:/Users//? How about in the Documents folder? No, AppData/Local maybe? AppData/LocalLow or AppData/Roaming?
Maybe it created a root folder on my hard drive, Intel and NVIDIA love to do that? Did it just dump data in my registry (thanks Adobe)? Maybe it's in the installation location in Program Files, or with the 32-bit updater app in Program Files (x86)?
Who the fuck even knows anymore at this point, just write directly into System32 for all I care
Vista sucked because manufacturers were behind on making computers up to snuff for the requirements.
Windows 11 is like the Windows vista of its time. But fucking worse.
Closer to ME, in that computers are being tossed.
You could turn tranperency on or off and it still ran like shit. I only remember Nvidia driver would crash for the first week when released and then they fixed it.
I liked them.
Thats why i still use them on kde.
I had to stop using them because my old laptop just cant keep up anymore 😪
I might have to replace it next year.... good ol gal. She has been the same Arch install for almost 10 years
good laptops are like pets, they only last for a little while but some will be remember for how much joy they gave you
I don't recall this. I recall our corpo overlords taking away the glass from us without asking.
It was glorious. I used Stardock's Windows Blinds to adjust the transparency to what felt just right and that was chef's kiss
Ahh, what we've lost...
It's expensive but I used Stardock on Windows. Specifically the bundle so I can use Fences and WindowFX. You can customise the hell out of Windows with their software, highly recommend. Free options do not come close.
Doesn't fix YouTube UI though.
I've been using Fences for like 10 years with roll-up containers. Now that I've switched to Linux actually having icons on my desktop again is kind of driving me nuts.
Do you know of an alternative?
