Forget confusing flat design and minimalism; a return to skeuomorphic ui, with big elements that can be laid out in ways that are comfortable to them. We're talking the revenge of Microsoft Bob. #ui #ux #skeuomorphism #microsoftbob

I miss the days of skeuomorphism in UI design.

Everything feels so bland and flat these days. I want my buttons to look like buttons, and my sliders to look like sliders. Please give me some texture and depth!

Gone a bit too far down #skeuomorphism rabbit hole

@thatkruegergirl @woollyapp @mttvll wow, that icon is out of this world. #skeuomorphism

An icon is a sign that resembles something but may not be a true representation. #skeuomorphism usually uses icons e.g.☎️ (still means "phone" even though phones don't look like this anymore).
An index replicates the thing e.g., a photograph.
A symbol has no relation to what it represents but we all agree what it means e.g., ♀️♂️ for female and male.

Check out my cool ass 3D #Firefox. This comes from Everaldo's Crystal Project icons.

There is an argument that #Skeuomorphism was merely a stepping-stone and is no longer needed. I disagree. I do not believe every human being on the planet is a computer expert. Novices are born every second.

A do agree that standard menus and interfaces help that knowledge transfer to new software. But there is always a first time.

While an abstract menu can be more flexible, that completely goes to waste if nobody can figure out how to use it. That moment of confusion is friction.

I have always loved #Skeuomorphism , the idea that when you make something look like a real-world object, people will intuitively understand what it is.

It has gone out of fashion over the past decade. Watering everything down to an excessively dull state of simplicity in my opinion. While I agree that it makes sense to prioritize function over form, that does NOT mean you should disregard form completely!

What a #UI throwback with this webpage I just found!

@dancounsell I remember it well. History will repeat itself and we will (hopefully) be seeing #skeuomorphism again.

Look who's there 😀

The #skeuomorphism will always win my heart

@theconfusedyeti #Skeuomorphism can look nice but it's also somewhat limiting as some digital things have no good real world analogue. Plus, having so many textures increases the chances of something clashing in the design and it increases app sizes (which are already ridiculous).

But one of the biggest problems for me is that all those textures sometimes made text hard to read, specially on buttons.

The certain way by which that certainly reads, however, is probably the point. At this point, anyway.
The actual content of Elements would be much better served by later translations straight from the Greek into Latin—or English.
Additionally, subsequent printings of this same book dropped the manuscript-style #skeuomorphism--for obvious reasons.
Here’s one from 1558, apparently,

much of the #scribalAbbreviation still in tact--which is honestly very cool!
