I just accidentally clicked the “clear all” on the browser URL and wished that it was a bit harder to click but was still there. If it took three clicks to make happen, its still useful in most circumstances but would drastically drop the mistaken clicks
Anyway, what are your unpopular UI opinions?
applications should all look the same. no custom theming.
there should not be a way to skirt the window manager theming system. i decide what my windows look like and that should be what all windows look like. that way it’s all uniform and easily parseable at a glance, not to mention a lot easier for accessibility tools to hook into. and for that matter, stop inventing new ways to present your application without doing a user study. we have years of user studies available showing what ui elements work well and what shapes they should be to be easily understood. just throwing something together because it looks cool and then shipping it like that should be a punishable offence.
