Users Decry New Icon Look In Windows 10
jones_supa writes A lot of people got upset about the flat looks of Modern UI presented in Windows 8. Recent builds of Windows 10 Technical Preview have now started replacing the shell icons, and to some people they are just too much to bear. Basically, Microsoft opted to change the icons in search of a fresh and modern look, but there are plenty of people out there who claim that all these new icons are actually very ugly and the company would better stick to the previous design. To find out what people think about these icons, Softpedia asked its readers to tell their opinion and the messages received in the last couple of days pretty much speak for themselves. There are only few testers who think that these icons look good, but the majority wants Microsoft to change them before the final version of the operating system comes out.
Lol XD
But i'm wondering the same. I looked at those icons, and don't see the issue. Yes they're different, a bit more like a lot of modern things are styled. You'll get used to it...
And to answer your question: everybody wants the world to change, but nobody wants to change themselves :p. That's the nice paradox our society is stuck in :).
And i'm probably going to kill any chances of getting modded up by saying this: I had the same feeling with windows 8. I heard all these terrible things about it, how the UI sucks. Did install it, and gave it a try. It's certainly different, but i don't see the issue. I looked up how to configure the new screen, grouped my icons on the metro screen nicely in a way i find convenient.
Now we've said our thing, the microsoft bashing may continue :).
It takes more than Photoshop skills to earn the title of UX Designer.
Yeah, severe brain damage.
