I cant fucking stand this crap. it has been almost 3 years since it became mainstream and i still fucking hate it.

Any friends here who feel the same?

Exact opposite. Skeumorphic(sp?) design is cancer.

Skeumorphism is emulating the actual action of old technology; turning virtual knobs, patching racks with virtual wires, etc.

Design that takes visual cues from older technology (an image of a floppy disk, old radio, etc) is *not* skeumorphism. If you cannot understand the difference, leave /g/.
>>
>>54165858
the thing i hate about 'flat' design is how it's opposed to skeuomprphism (fuckin ancient greek words)
the flat design today is the same skeumorphic crap, but it doesnt look good too
it'd be actually cool if we ditched the skeumorphic UX, but kept the eye-candy

Then why even fucking comment?

If you're not here to give a shit about the difference then why are you on a board that exists so we can discuss differences?

Indifference isn't "hip" or "trendy"; it makes you look like a faggot, and you don't suddenly become autistic or gay because you actually know what the fuck you're talking about.

Only if you're jailbroken
Did the same for my iphone 4s

>>54165881
apple's late OS X (2007-2012) skeumorphism is the best. Their previous (2000-2005) is somewhat worse, more distracting, but really vaporwavy? Bad example you got here with windows because it emulates the OS X.
>>54165945
yeah, uless you have 2,4 model. look up beehind and OdysseusOTA
>>
>>54165972
ios 6 will always be the best os, looked serious, was stable, back when the iphone was unbeatable and fast
>>
older skeumorphic designs just look so outdated. And old. And not the "cool, 90s nostalgic vaporwave" old.
>>
I just want white text on a black background.
Is that too much to ask?
GUI is overrated.
>>
>>54165945
Yes, it has to be jailbroken with OpenSSH installed. iOS 6.1.3 is still being signed OTA on iTunes servers.

>why is Apple still singing it??

Because anyone on iOS 5 trying to update OTA can't jump from 5 to 9. They have to update to iOS 6 first, otherwise you'll get a bootloop that requires a DFU restore. The best tool is called beehind. I tried it on a 4s and it werks.

It's easier to read black text on white, at least for a larger percent of people. That's why it is so rare on web. It can look good if applied correctly though.

It's not.

Thankfully /g/ users with no taste will never be in charge of design.

Let the people who went to art school handle it ok buddy ;)

>>54166300
That's the problem with software today, idiots that are into 'art' and 'beuty' are in charge of designing USER INTERFACES.

They ARE NOT about FORM, they ARE ENTIRELY about FUNCTIONALITY.

Go back to designing shit websites no one can actually use or using deviantart you little piece of shit.

Flat is just lack of skill and pure laziness.

It's also fucking depressing to look at. And like that is not enough they made everything white.

Material must be lowest point of GUI design ever.
