The worst thing is when browsers are adding rounded corners to viewport and covering part of website. This is breaking design and in some cases might even hide crucial information.
Very worrying trend is thin scrollbars on websites, or in some rare cases - scrollbar just hidden. Fortunately Firefox has a setting in about:config: layout.css.scrollbar-width-thin.disabled=true .
That is so sad!!
The larger our screens gets the smaller the scrollbars get, making it at least twice as difficult to use.
Where do you remove the option for me to see how long your (now often AI generated) blog post is just by glancing at the scroll bar, why do you remove it.
That’s really crappy UX…
Also - apps (mainly Office 365) no longer use a framework that allows the OS supported use of Accent Color (the thing that allows the active windows toolbar to get a Color that quickly and effectively signals ‘I’m the active one now).
No no - I am Office I am so important that I need to always be green (Excel) or blue (Word) etc. No need for you to know if I am the active window or not - you’ll find out when starting to type and the ‘wrong’ windows receives your input!
It seems that there is a design pattern where product owners favor apps to look nice in board room presentations over making them effective to use for professional users (as well as average Joe).
Don’t get me started on the often lack of keyboard shortcuts - just use the mouse (no thanx - way too much clicking, only use mouse where it makes sense, please)…
widget.gtk.overlay-scrollbars.enabled: false - always show normal scrollbar, don't just expand on hover
widget.non-native-theme.scrollbar.style: (it seems that values 1-5 are allowed)
widget.non-native-theme.scrollbar.size.override: width
I'm not surprised scrollbars are hidden. They're hidden by default on macOS and when you find out that every other OS turns your design into a scrollbar mess, disabling all of them is the quickest fix.
A "scrollbar mess"!? That type of designer is exactly the cause of the problem.
Usability breaks the look of my design, so I'll break usability! Obviously it's more important that everyone sees my amazing graphic design skills, than that they can actually use it!
Usability is one thing, but with Apple hiding scrollbars by default, loads of macOS-designed websites spawn scrollbars all over the place on other platforms because of 1px overflows.
Are there any similar projects that do recompilation for old DOS games? I am mainly interested in games written in Borland Turbo C, as I am trying to work out how one of them works. Some resources like tutorials would be great too.
Default apps in GrapheneOS are really outdated. Especially "Gallery" where on standard "compact" device top navbar is still too small and requires very precise touch. Hopefully, little by little, all stock applications will be updated to more modern variants. I personally had plans to build some open source stock Android applications, but after whole nonsense with platform being locked down I do not see the point in investing my time, just for google to block my apps.

It doesn't apply to GrapheneOS users and it doesn't affect developers who have apps on the play store. You should do it! Many users on stock android who would install apps not from the play store will have gone through the 24 hours or used ADB.
Would be neat if Fairphone would build a real compact smartphone, something with 4" or 5" screen. Current device is too large for human pockets and all those protruding camera bumps and buttons are really uncomfortable.
We get the message alright - everyone move over to alternative platforms. Biggest issue to get local government socials moved to something more open and accessible without an account.
